Dear colleagues,
The International Society for Justice Research (http://isjr.jimdo.com/) is a group of scholars who encourage international and interdisciplinary cooperation in developing justice theory and research. Biennial scientific conferences (see call for papers below) allow the exchange and dissemination of this scientific information and creation of scientific networks in justice research.

CALL FOR PAPERS - 14th ISJR BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
The ISJR 14th Biennial Conference will be held in September 2012 at The School of Behavioral Sciences, College of Management, ISRAEL, which is located in Rishon LeZion, Gush Dan (Tel-Aviv) metropolitan area.
Please keep the following dates in your records:
| Sept. 8-9 | PhD Students' Workshop |
| Sept. 9 | Cocktail Party |
| Sept. 10-12 | Conference Activities |
| Sept. 13 | One Day Trip (probably to the Dead Sea) |
The Call for Abstracts and poster presentations is open until the end of January 2012 at the conference webpage, http://social-justice.colman.ac.il/finished_site/index.html. Three general themes were selected for the conference by the organizing committee in order to highlight major facets in the complexity of social justice, and provide a contemporary context for an inter-disciplinary dialogue. These themes are not meant to highlight a single focus, but rather to provide a basis for a panoramic view of social justice in a complex reality. Focal themes that will be identified as emerging from a plurality of submissions will provide a basis for organizing relevant new sessions thus contributing to an even wider panorama of contemporary views of social justice. The final program is expected to be publicized around March 2012 in the conference website after receiving and organizing all the submissions. We are happy to have Prof. Frances Raday, Chair of the Concord Research Institute for Integration of International Law in Israel at the College of Management and Elias Lieberman Chair in Labor Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Emerita), as a keynote speaker for the conference; additional keynote speakers will be publicized shortly in the conference website.
We are expecting an international and inter-disciplinary array of speakers fostering discussions of new ideas, research, and theories relevant to justice phenomena. We encourage the participation of scholars from a diversity of disciplines including social psychology, sociology and anthropology, law, education, philosophy, ethics, social work, and other professionals involved in the study of justice. COMAS - The College of Management Academic Studies, celebrated its 30th anniversary last year.
