Criminology Featured in The Journey of a Change Maker Exhibit
Visitors to the fourth floor of the MacOdrum Library can explore The Journey of a Change Maker, an exhibition highlighting the research, creativity, and social commitments of graduate students from the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs at Carleton University. The exhibit invites students to reflect on the kind of change they hope to create in the world and translates those visions into artistic expressions connected to their research and values.
Among the featured works is a collage and short documentary created by Contract Instructor Jeffrey Bradley, whose work reflects themes closely connected to criminology. Created on Prisoners’ Justice Day 2025, the collage honours the resilience and strength of women who experienced state violence at Canada’s former Prison for Women in Kingston. The piece calls attention to histories of harm within the carceral system while also highlighting the possibilities of healing, abolition, and transformative justice. It also invites people to explore a series of videos with interviews from former prisoners, advocates, and community activists in the Healing for Justice.
The exhibition brings together graduate researchers from across disciplines –including law, social work, communication, and sustainable energy—each presenting a creative representation of the change they hope to pursue through their scholarship and community engagement. Together, the works offer a powerful reminder that academic research can also be a form of storytelling, advocacy, and social transformation.
Students, faculty, and community members are encouraged to visit the display on the 4th floor of the MacOdrum Library to engage with these inspiring visions for a more just and equitable world.
