The course provides a critical introduction to the restorative justice and trauma healing fields. Restorative justice will be examined within the criminal and traditional justice systems in American as well as several international contexts. Trauma healing will be explored as a component of the restorative justice process, and both are situated in a larger peacebuilding framework. The importance and power of Dignity will be examined as a component of the restorative process in post-crime contexts and as a preventative aspect of violence. One of the "hands-on" segments of the course will be an Alternative to Violence Project training at Graterford Prison in Pennsylvania.
