The Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance is an interdisciplinary research centre that was initially established with ARC funding. Positioned in Griffith University’s Arts, Education & Law Group, the Centre is home to scholars who engage in research on values-based reforms in institutional, organizational and community governance that reduce social injustices and improve individual, environmental and societal safety and well-being.
Research programs focus on institutional and organizational governance, ethical standard setting, human development, crime and corruption prevention, and the operations of institutions of justice. The Centre supports collaboration between experienced and early career scholars as well as research students, drawing from humanities, psychology, sociology, law, criminology and other social sciences.
The strength of the Key Centre lies in part in its interdisciplinary commitment and openness to a diversity of epistemological traditions, from quantitative social science to complexity and systems thinking. It aims to undertake projects that make a difference for the community while adding to the scientific knowledge base.
