Book: Restorative Justice, Reconciliation, and Peacebuilding

Jennifer J. Llewellyn and Daniel Philpott

All over the world the practice of peacebuilding is beset with common dilemmas: peace versus justice, religious versus secular approaches, individual versus structural justice, reconciliation versus retribution, and the harmonization of the sheer multiplicity of practices involved in repairing past harms. Progress toward the resolution of these dilemmas requires far more than reforming institutions and practices; rather, it requires clear thinking about the more basic questions: What is justice? And how is it related to the building of peace?

In episode three, of Deep Dive, Dalhousie’s President Dr. Deep Saini, speaks with Schulich School of Law Professor Jennifer Llewellyn and University of Canberra’s Dr. Holly Northam about their international collaboration in the field of Restorative Justice, as well as the Restorative Research, Innovation & Education Lab recently launched at #DalhousieU with the support of the Donald R. Sobey Foundation.
