Description: The Social Justice Initiative was founded at the University of Melbourne in 2007. The aim of the Social Justice Initiative (SJI) is to facilitate interdisciplinary research of international standing and strengthen the growing interest in questions of social justice at the University of Melbourne and beyond. In particular, the SJI aims to build links between the different theoretical understandings and practical applications of social justice developed across a range of disciplines. These include: inequality, poverty, distributive justice, welfare and unemployment policy, the nature of work, the social justice implications of new technologies, mental and indigenous health, obesity, global justice and the social justice implications of climate change. SJI members also conduct research on key theoretical dimensions of social justice including: inequality, poverty, tolerance and distributive justice. The Research section of this website outlines projects undertaken and funded by the SJI. The Initiative is being funded through the Melbourne Strategic Research Initiatives Fund as well as by the Faculties of Arts, Economics and Commerce, Law, and Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
