Event Description:
Restorative justice is an approach to harm and conflict based on Indigenous ways of being and knowing and promising practices supported by social psychology, neurobiology, and education. This presentation introduces the philosophy and practices of restorative justice and how these could be helpful in supporting faculty to have difficult conversations with students about everything from coming in late, interpersonal conflict, and academic integrity breaches.
