Bold Ideas. Real Impact.
As we edge closer to the ANZSOC 2026 Conference in Glenelg, Adelaide, we invite you to reflect on the powerful conversations at the centre of this year’s event.
Our central theme Justice Reimagined: Bold Ideas, Real Impact challenges us to think beyond traditional responses and consider what the future of justice could – and should – look like.
In a world where social harms continue to evolve rapidly, ANZSOC 2026 will bring together scholars, practitioners, policymakers and community voices to explore bold, human-centred approaches that create meaningful and lasting change across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider region.
This year’s conference will also introduce a range of new initiatives designed to deepen learning, collaboration and real-world impact – including exclusive pre-conference workshops tailored for post graduates and industry policy makers and practitioners.
These practical, hands-on sessions will focus on translating emerging research, theory and innovative thinking into operational and policy outcomes that can shape the future of justice responses.
Join us and together, let’s challenge the status quo, reimagine what justice can be, and drive conversations that create real impact.
Submit your abstracts here by the 15th June.
We look forward to welcoming you to Glenelg in December 2026.
And make the most out of your time in South Australia by exploring Adelaide and its beautiful surrounding regions during your visit. Go to https://anzsoc2026.com.au/explore/ for information and tips on where to go.
