2024 +Justice Festival
The +Justice Festival is back for 2024! This year’s theme is Imagining the Future.
We invite suggestions from staff and students about art and literature – all kinds of books and films, poems and artworks, live performances and exhibitions – that speak to this year’s theme.
The idea behind the +Justice Festival is to get us all thinking broadly about how cultural texts – novels, comedy, music, poems, artworks, TV shows, podcasts, dance – connect to both the +Justice theme and to studying law and criminology. We want to generate intellectual connections amongst students and between students and staff.
The Festival is not an extra assignment! There are definitely no final exams or class participation marks up for grabs! The Festival is an invitation to each and every student to hold next-level conversations, to listen, to think, to talk, and to reflect.
To make your own suggestion for the webpage and to continue the conversation, please email plusjustice@unsw.edu.au and be sure to include your name, your suggested text, and a brief explanation of how your suggested text engages with the theme of imagining the future.
Stay tuned for this year's text recommendations

+Justice Festival -Â The Future of Public Law in Australia: A Conversation
What is the future of public law in Australia? What role is automation likely to play in governance, and how should public law respond? How will public law adapt to the challenges of outsourcing and a shrinking public sphere? What will the role be for values in Australian constitutional law and discourse, particularly the role of dignity? And how will the Court approach these and other questions – in a single voice, or with multiple concurring and dissenting voices?
To debate these questions, UNSW Law & Justice students and staff are warmly invited to a conversation with Dean Andrew Lynch, A/Professor Janina Boughey and Dr Ashleigh Barnes, moderated by Professor Rosalind Dixon.
The event is co-hosted by the UNSW Gilbert +Tobin Centre of Public Law and the Faculty of Law and Justice’s +Justice Festival 2024, and will be held in person in the Law & Justice Building, Level 2 Staff Common Room. A light lunch for those attending will be provided by the G+T Centre.
