Welcome to UniSA Justice & Society

The key to understanding the world around us is asking why. At the University of South Australia, curiosity drives us to investigate the motivations and consequences of human behaviour.  

UniSA Justice & Society combines complementary disciplines that target areas of critical social need, including psychology, law, social work, human services, arts, and Aboriginal studies.

Our multidisciplinary research explores the connections between these areas, with a focus on transformative solutions. Our relationships with industry and government bodies lead to improved public policy, community development, and social and economic outcomes.  

Meaningful learning and engagement is fundamental to future success. UniSA students connect directly with members of the community through our Legal Advice and Psychology Clinics, applying critical thought and reasoning to genuine cases.  

Whether in the lab or in the field, UniSA Justice & Society is innovating for change, leading the way in analysis, communication and advocacy to target the rapidly evolving needs of the contemporary world.
