Professor Duncan Chappell Farewell Workshop

This workshop celebrates and acknowledges the contributions of Professor Duncan Chappell. Over six decades, Professor Chappell's work spanned criminology, criminal justice, law reform, mental health law and public policy in Australia and internationally. He served as Director of both the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Sydney Institute of Criminology, as well as on the Australian and NSW Law Reform Commissions, and held senior academic and public appointments in Australia, Canada and the United States. He also worked with organisations including the United Nations and International Labour Organization.

His contribution to criminology and criminal justice continues to be recognised. The Sydney Institute of Criminology recently established the Duncan Chappell Article Prize in his honour, recognising outstanding work by emerging scholars.

Professor Chappell was also a valued mentor, colleague, supervisor and friend to many. The workshop offers the opportunity to share, reflect and farewell.
