This summer, Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP)<\/a> will introduce a new certificate program for restorative justice<\/a> practitioners. The program is open to all interested in furthering their postgraduate educations and aimed particularly at mid-career professionals.<\/p>\n

Courses will combine online learning with in-class time, said Carl Stauffer<\/a>, a CJP professor and co-director of the Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instructors will include CJP professors Stauffer, Barry Hart<\/a> and Howard Zehr<\/a>, and visiting scholars like David Anderson Hooker and Lorraine Amstutz-Stutzman. Online portions of some courses will include guest lectures from other experts around the world.<\/p>\n

The 18-credit certification is designed to be finished within a year, or during successive sessions of CJP\u2019s annual Summer Peacebuilding Institute<\/a>. Requirements are broken down into 12 hours of core courses on restorative justice and conflict analysis, plus six hours of elective courses.<\/p>\n

The electives offer students a chance to dig deeper into topics such as transitional justice, trauma, critical race theory, community development, and healthy organizations.<\/p>\n

By taking advantage of local opportunities for practice, the program will emphasize real-life experience in order to reinforce learning in the classroom. \u201cThe program is very practice-oriented,\u201d said Stauffer. \u201cWe try to focus it around students\u2019 interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent examples of practice opportunities have seen students engaging in restorative justice research with the James Madison University Office of Judicial Affairs, organizing public screenings of restorative justice films with facilitated dialogue afterward, and working with the Gemeinschaft Home<\/a>, a re-entry program for men coming out of prison.<\/p>\n

Stauffer described the certificate program as \u201ca great professional development opportunity and a step on the way to a master\u2019s degree in restorative justice.\u201d The Center for Justice and Peacebuilding is generally considered one of the top five graduate programs in the field, he said. Citing the program\u2019s unique dual focus on theory and reflective practice, Stauffer referred to graduates as \u201cprac-ademics.\u201d<\/p>\n
