In summer 2015, 36 people representing a broad diversity of experiences, practices, backgrounds and identities, <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2015\/07\/restorative-justice-experts-join-in-zehr-institutes-3-year-project-to-map-the-future-of-the-field\/\">met for five days<\/a> at EMU to discuss the future of the field.

Toews has worked in victim-offender reconciliation and with the Pennsylvania Prison Project and Inside Out Prison Exchange Program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many practitioners, for example, disagree whether restorative justice is a social movement or an emerging social service field. Stauffer, in his keynote address, urged participants \u201cto hold together\u201d this paradox between theory and practice. He also pointed out that \u201cracial justice, identify, power, privilege and diversity will be key themes of social change.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Building inclusivity and diversity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pefkaros commented these key themes were ones that conference organizers sought to address in their call for presenters. \u201cOne conclusion from last summer\u2019s consultation is that practitioners are often working at the intersections of race, power, privilege and identity, yet many haven\u2019t really addressed those difficult topics,\u201d Pefkaros said. \u201cThose conversations hadn\u2019t happened in any of these broad RJ meeting spaces and folks were expressing a giant question about how to do this work without having those conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Creating an inclusive and diverse space was also an important goal of the conference, she added. \u201cFar too often conferences and other spaces are only accessible to a privileged few, often white people working in well-funded non-profits and institutions. We offered scholarships and encouraged youth and people of color to be an integral part of this conference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another emphasis was offering engagement opportunities across the learning modalities. Indeed the conference did just that, providing venues for \u201cbanker-style\u201d seminars with linear seating arrangements and more organic explorations created by circles processes, storytelling sessions and experiential learning environments.<\/p>\n<p>In process-oriented workshops, tensions sometimes arose, Pefkaros acknowledged. \u201cWe almost expected that,\u201d she said. \u201cAt the same time as it\u2019s uncomfortable when that happens, these are people who are living and working in those tensions. If it didn\u2019t happen, I\u2019m not sure we would be creating the space we set out to. I\u2019m sure there are those who aren\u2019t completely satisfied with how this conference has gone and there are others who feel like we\u2019ve made some breakthroughs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By the end of Thursday\u2019s scheduled sessions, a few \u201cflare-ups\u201d and \u201chot moments\u201d had occurred. Conference organizers addressed concerns and grievances with the help of peacemaking circles expert <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2015\/12\/circle-process-course-offered-by-kay-pranis-trains-facilitators-for-dialogue-healing-in-variety-of-settings\/\">Kay Pranis<\/a>, a conference participant. She hosted a three-hour-plus circle late into the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Yet many participants left invigorated by the conversations and the shared vision of creating a more equitable society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conference rocked my world view, challenged me in very deep ways, and above all else gave me hope,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmu.edu\/osarp\/about\/staff\/bacon-josh.shtml\">Josh Bacon<\/a>, associate dean of students and director of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices at James Madison University. &#8220;Connecting with peacebuilders from around the world who are open to challenging and learning from each other is energizing. This group is not afraid to address the serious, confrontational, and deep issues that affect our work. I think in this spirit we all know how important this works is and the gravity of the issues facing our world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28594\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28594\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/06\/restorative-justice-in-motion-conference-provides-practitioners-with-space-for-meaningful-dialogue-about-race-power-privilege-and-identity\/rj-sky\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28594\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28594 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/06\/RJ-Sky-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"RJ Sky\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/06\/RJ-Sky-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/06\/RJ-Sky.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marqees Banks, of Los Angeles, was among a continent of youth participants.
