Much is happening this week! We have two guest speakers. First, on Tuesday morning, we will meet Luis Rodriguez in the Longhouse. In addition to finishing his text, you might enjoy his poetry which is posted under downloadable files, week 5.
The next morning at 10 am , our program will be sponsoring a speaker on Restorative Justice who has collected some impressive longitudinal and cross -cultural data on this area using a Restorative Justice Paradigm. Our speaker, Paul McCold, is an adjunct faculty at St. Martin University and was founding faculty at the Graduate School of the International Institute for Restorative Practices in Bethlehem Pennsylvania.
Restorative justice is an innovative approach to crime and wrong-doing that seeks to transform conflict into cooperation. Dr. McCold will introduce the paradigm by presenting the definition, postulates, and causal theory of the essential concepts; and then summarize the remarkable research findings that definitively validate the practice as a viable alternative to punishment-based criminal justice.
Also – PLEASE NOTE – we have changed the date the first section of your prospectus is due from Wednesday to Thursday due to a scheduling change with the Writing Center. Please see the timeline below.
