Restorative justice is a framework based in the wisdom and practices of Indigenous peoples across the world. It offers an approach to wrongdoing and harm in contrast with traditional punitive systems, as well as a model for proactive community-building that centers interconnectivity. This class explores the roots and origins of restorative justice; examines how it is being used from schools to legal systems to truth-telling processes; and considers critical perspectives on its efficacy and transformative potential. Topics include Restorative Justice Roots and Foundations; Restorative Justice Philosophy and Practices; Restorative vs. Retributive Justice; Restorative Justice and the Criminal Legal System; Restorative Justice with Schools and Youth; Truth-Telling and Reconciliation; and the Future of Restorative Justice. Offered by Conflict Analysis & Resolution. Limited to three attempts.
