Description
Presented by Carter School’s Transitioning Justice Lab
Restorative Justice as Community Peacebuilding: A Restorative Approach to Hate-related Harm
With hate-related instances of interpersonal harm increasing in the US, this panel explores the use of Restorative Justice (RJ) processes as a response to violence motivated by racism, LGBTQI discrimination, political opposition, and other forms of hate. Facilitators and stakeholders will draw on their experiences to address these and related questions: What are the key learnings from using RJ to respond to Hate-related Harm? How, if at all, do RJ conferences involving Hate-related Harm differ from other RJ conferences? How might the use of RJ for interpersonal Hate-related Harm connect to broader efforts toward security and community peacebuilding? Includes audience Q&A.
