\"\"Boston University School of Theology is pleased to announce that Clinical Assistant Professor of Religion and Conflict Transformation and Director of the Tom Porter Religion and Conflict Transformation Program<\/a> James McCarty<\/a> recently published a series of five lectures<\/a> titled \u201cRestorative Justice: A Global Movement to Transform Harm.\u201d His lectures were made possible by the Canopy Forum<\/a>, a digital publication site for the Center for the Study of Law and Religion<\/a> at Emory University, which seeks to \u201cfoster productive public discourse on critical issues at the intersection of law and religion<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this series I interpret the story of restorative justice as a globally connected one that understands justice as a series of mutually-informed experiments in anticolonial (broadly construed) and religious visions of justice that center both healing and accountability,\u201d says Prof. McCarty. \u201cThis is not the dominant way the story of restorative justice is often told in politics or academic settings, but this way of telling and interpreting uncovers the Indigenous and religious roots of restorative justice that get ignored or obscured by that dominant story. My hope is that this serves as an accessible resource for people who want to learn more about restorative justice and for those who are shaping its future.\u201d<\/p>\n
