Description :

The dominant justice systems of the Western world have traditionally focused on crime, punishment and the enforcement of laws. But what if justice could do more? Could it also contribute to healing, restoration, reconciliation, environmental stewardship and the creation of a more flourishing society? This six-session course explores alternative and emerging approaches to justice that seek not only to address harm, but also to cultivate stronger communities, healthier relationships and a more sustainable world. Drawing on Indigenous wisdom, restorative practices and contemporary social movements, participants will examine how justice can support personal transformation, collective healing and ecological well-being.

1. Pan-Indigenous Justice: Exploring humanity's earliest and most enduring traditions of communal healing, accountability and peacemaking.

2. Salish-Stóō Justice: Examining regional First Nations approaches to justice, environmental stewardship and social harmony.

3. Restorative Justice: Exploring Indigenous-inspired practices of restoration, mediation and relationship-building that complement conventional legal systems.

4. Transitional Justice: Investigating national and international efforts to acknowledge historical oppression and promote reconciliation.

5. Environmental Justice: Considering emerging approaches that recognize the rights and well-being of ecosystems, species and future generations.

6. Transformative Justice: Exploring justice frameworks that seek to foster human flourishing, ethical character and a more compassionate global community.

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of how justice can move beyond punishment toward healing, reconciliation and a more sustainable future.
