Restorative Approaches to Healing and Justice: A Big Ideas Talk with Sonya Shah
SEE EVENT DETAILS
This event is part of the Big Ideas at CIIS Series.
Restorative justice is an alternative approach to address violence and repair harm rooted in community solutions. These practices are used in schools, community groups, families, and along the entire continuum of the justice process to address historical harms as well as sexual and domestic violence. Restorative Justice is used by social workers, students, justice advocates, professors, therapists, school teachers, psychologists, community activists, and in every day interpersonal relationships worldwide.
CIIS Associate Professor Sonya Shah shares her 20 years of experience exploring the interpersonal, structural, social and historical causes of violence. Join Sonya to learn how the application of restorative justice processes can heal and transform our culture, and understand the intersection of restorative justice and sexual harm.
Sonya Shah has 20 years of experience in social justice education. She is an associate professor at CIIS, and a facilitator of restorative justice and trauma healing processes in family, community, university, and prison settings.
