Justice and Social Inquiry is recognized as a leader in the transdisciplinary study of justice. Our justice studies program, the first in the U.S., has been replicated in colleges and universities across the U.S., Canada and Australia, and our faculty are consulted as other universities seek to incorporate the study of justice into traditional disciplines. Our anthology, New Directions in the Study of Justice, Law and Social Control (1990, NY; Plenum Publishing Co.), was the first collection of its kind to address justice issues and serves as a model for other academic programs and consortiums.

Our scholarship flows inside and through our disciplinary boundaries, creating new synergies. Twenty full-time faculty members are trained in anthropology, criminology, geography, law, political science, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. In addition, more than 40 faculty members from other academic units at Arizona State University are affiliated with our graduate program. Our faculty collaborate with scholars and artists from across the university, are embedded in our local communities, and engage in research projects with colleagues worldwide.
