Fifteen Griffith University-connected recipients have been recognised in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours.

Among those recognised were Professor Emeritus Ljubo Vlacic AM, whose pioneering work in intelligent transportation systems helped establish Griffith as an early leader in self-driving vehicle research. Dr Bianca Beetson AM, recognised for her significant contribution to Indigenous art as an educator, curator, and artist. Griffith alumna and former Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll AO, recognised for her distinguished service to law enforcement, disaster management, and the community.

Congratulations to all recipients on this well-deserved recognition and outstanding achievement.

Griffith criminologist and artist Rachel Dioso-Villa transforms 15 years of research into a powerful visual exhibition exploring the systemic nature and emotional aftermath of wrongful convictions.

Bringing together three interconnected bodies of work, Data, Process, and Response, the exhibition examines how errors occur within legal systems, reveals the research behind the work, and explores the often-unspoken emotional impact on exonerees, their families, advocates, and researchers.

By combining art and criminology, After invites audiences to engage with wrongful conviction beyond statistics and legal outcomes, creating space for reflection, empathy, and conversation.

Today, on National Sorry Day, our panel discussion at Griffith University's Logan campus explored this year's theme for National Reconciliation Week - "All In".

Bringing together diverse perspectives, the conversation explored where reconciliation is making an impact, where it is falling short, and what must shift to move beyond intention toward real change.

Creating space for listening, learning and reflecting. 🖤💛❤️
