Abstract | From the global pandemic, to the Black Lives Matter, Me Too and Indigenous reconciliation and decolonization movements have brought the systemic and structural failures of current social institutions around the world to our collective consciousness in poignant, painful and urgent ways. The need for fundamental social and systemic transformation is clear. This challenge is central to the work of dealing with the past in countries undergoing transition and in established democracies confronting deep structural inequalities and injustices. Rooted in lessons from the application of restorative justice across these contexts this lecture will consider the potential and significance of a restorative approach for this transformative work.

Jennifer Llewellyn is the Donald R. Sobey Foundation Chair in Restorative Justice and the Yogis and Keddy Chair in Human Rights Law at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada. She is the Director of the newly established Restorative Research, Innovation and Education Lab at Dalhousie University. She also leads the International Learning Community on a Restorative Approach an international collaboration of researchers, policy markers and practitioners supporting jurisdictions committed to being restorative communities. Her teaching and research are focused in the areas of relational theory, restorative justice, truth commissions, peacebuilding, international and domestic human rights law, public law and Canadian constitutional law. She has written and published extensively on the theory and practice of a restorative approach.

Carl Stauffer (PhD. from University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa) is Associate Professor of Justice Studies at Center for Justice & Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University. He also serves as Co-Director of the Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice, and Academic Director of the Caux Scholars Program in Switzerland. His research concentrates on the critique of transitional justice from a restorative frame, and the application of hybrid, often parallel indigenous or local community justice practices.

Fania E. Davis is an author, educator, restorative justice practitioner and long-time social justice activist and civil rights trial attorney with a PhD in Indigenous Knowledge. Coming of age in Birmingham, Alabama during the social ferment of the civil rights era, the murder of two close childhood friends in the 1963 Sunday School bombing crystallized within Fania a passionate commitment to social transformation. The Los Angeles Times named her a New Civil Rights Leader of the 21st Century.
