This course will introduce students to how academics, activists, and practitioners have worked to address the root causes of violence and imagined possibilities for change. The course will offer opportunities for students to explore first-person accounts from people differently positioned in relationship to institutions of punishment and healing in order to understand both the challenges and possibilities of engaging in healing-centered work. Topics will include trauma, liberation, and healing justice, restorative vs. retributive justice, conflict resolution, de-escalation, mind-body awareness, and social-political consciousness.
This course is available on Monday or Wednesday evenings. Class meetings for this course are held completely online.
