Description

This course, delivered in workshop format, offers an introduction to restorative justice (RJ). Using a highly experiential and participatory pedagogy that focuses on community building, we will explore the concepts of justice, harm, and accountability through a relational perspective that is both interpersonal and communal. We will learn RJ values, principles, and practices and how they can be applied in various contexts and in everyday life. Though group dialogue that centers students experiences and knowledge, readings, videos, and reflection essays, we will gain a diverse understanding of both RJ theory and practice.
