PEAC 203 - INTRODUCTION TO
TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE:
THEORY AND PRACTICE

PEAC 203: Introduction to Transformative Justice:
Theory and Practice explores the theory and practice
of transformative justice. Themes include retribution,
punishment and deterrence; Indigenous approaches
to justice; trauma and healing; shame and empathy;
community, belonging, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
These are explored at a variety of scales, from

the interpersonal to the global, and in various
contexts — from the Canadian criminal justice system
to transitional justice following war, apartheid, or
colonial subjugation. Students will gain familiarity
with the applied practices of victim-offender
mediation, family-group conferencing, peacemaking
circles, and truth and reconciliation commissions; and
also learn how restorative practices are being used
in environmental contexts and in our schools.

Prerequisites: English 12 or equivalent with a grade of “C”
or better, or recommended PEAC 100 and 101.
