RT Article T1 Teaching restorative justice JF Contemporary justice review VO 25 IS 3/4 SP 271 OP 281 A1 Pointer, Lindsey A2 Dutreuil, Chloe A2 Livelli, Brianna A2 Londoño Gómez, Catalina A2 Pledl, Clare A2 Rodriguez, Paula A2 Showalter, Ping A2 Tompkins, Rodney “Page” LA English YR 2022 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1844734218 AB This article outlines four pillars of restorative pedagogy, drawing on relevant literature as well as collective learning distilled through a reflective circle process held by the authors during a course called Teaching Restorative Justice at Vermont Law and Graduate School. The four pillars are (1) prioritizing relationships, (2) practicing self-reflection, (3) cultivating dialogue that unearths social systems of oppression, and (4) utilizing strategies for creative and experiential engagement. These four pillars generate a space that promotes a deep integration of class material and activates the community toward social change. The authors reflect on their experience sharing a classroom community as students and professor and on the impact of these pillars on cultivating education as a practice of freedom.
