Dr Rohan Lulham is a Senior Lecturer in Design at the University of Sydney. His research explores the capacity of design to create social change and growth with a particular focus on transforming the criminal justice system. With a background in psychology and architecture, as well as experience working as a psychologist in youth justice, Rohan’s research often intersects across design, criminology, and psychology with affect often being a core construct.
Developing new knowledge through undertaking practice-led design research projects is an important aspect of his research. Over the last ten years Rohan has led several large design research collaborations including projects on prison education, prison industries, community legal services, appearing in court from custody via video links, therapeutic youth justice units, acute mental units, and prisoner access to digital technology. Looking to create impact and build pathways to alternative approaches to criminal justice, he advocates for how inclusive, participatory design can assist in realising more humane and productive systems of justice.
