In March, the <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/\">Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice<\/a> webinar looked at violence against African-Americans.\u00a0 In April, the spring 2016 webinar series ended with a discussion on neuroscience and how human biology contributes to structural injustice.<\/p>\n<p>The Zehr Institute has been sponsoring a regular webinar series \u2013 typically once a month in the spring and fall \u2013 since it was founded in 2012. Now at more than 30 webinars and counting, the series has become one of the institute\u2019s most successful forms of outreach.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\">We&#8217;re becoming sort of the repository where conversations that are happening on the margins of the field are being brought into the center stage. \u2014Carl Stauffer <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI would venture to say that we\u2019re becoming sort of the repository where the conversations that are happening on the margins of the field are being brought into the center stage, and that\u2019s exactly what we set out to do,\u201d said co-director <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/staff\/carl-stauffer\/\">Carl Stauffer<\/a>. \u201cThe webinars have been a great platform to have the conversations that we want to have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The April webinar, \u201cCan restorative justice address structural and racial injustice? A neuroscience prospective,\u201d was presented by Dr. Cheryl Talley, a professor of neuroscience at Virginia State University and a past member of the CJP Board of Reference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Preparing for] this webinar allowed me to consolidate all of the reading and thinking that I\u2019ve been doing over the years, so it was a really beneficial exercise for me,\u201d said Talley, whose research interests include the intersection of affective neuroscience and social justice.<\/p>\n<p>The webinar attracted around 100 participants, making it one of the Zehr Institute\u2019s best-attended yet. Though unsure of how the audience might respond to some of her more discomfiting points \u2013 such as her discussion of the neuroscience research showing how human brains are wired for bias \u2013 Talley was pleased by the \u201cfar-reaching\u201d discussion that followed her presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Each webinar typically begins with a 35 to 40-minute talk by a guest presenter, followed by an equal amount of time for conversation and discussion among the participants. Over the years, topics have ranged from reform of the criminal justice system, one of the most traditional applications of restorative justice, to indigenous justice, arts-related applications of restorative justice, education and beyond. Recently, Stauffer added, an increasing number of webinars have focused on how restorative justice can inform efforts to transform structural violence and restore communities.<\/p>\n<p>The four webinars scheduled for Fall 2016 will continue the series\u2019 tradition of wide-ranging subject matter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sept. 21<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/webinar\/pre-charge-pre-booking-restorative-diversion-spotlight-on-oakland-california\/\">Pre-charge\/pre-booking Restorative Diversion<\/a>: Spotlight on Oakland, California with Sia Henry and Yejide Ankobia, hosted by Howard Zehr.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oct. 19<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/webinar\/restorative-justice-restorative-theology-restorative-church\/\">Restorative Justice, Restorative Theology, Restorative Church<\/a> withh Ted Lewis and Chris Marshall, hosted by Carl Stauffer and Johonna Turner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nov. 2:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/webinar\/making-manna-a-story-about-the-failings-of-the-justice-system-and-a-victims-efforts-to-heal\/\">Making Manna<\/a>: A story about the failings of the justice system and a victim\u2019s efforts to heal with Eric Lotke, hosted by Johonna Turner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dec. 7:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/webinar\/restorative-justice-and-the-practice-of-law\/\">Restorative Justice and the Practice of Law<\/a> with Brenda Waugh, hosted by Howard Zehr.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As awareness of the webinar series has grown, more and more of the participants from around the country and world are newcomers to Eastern Mennonite University and the Zehr Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal in starting [these webinars] was trying to find ways to connect people,\u201d said <a href=\"http:\/\/zehr-institute.org\/staff\/howard-zehr\/\">Howard Zehr<\/a>, the institute\u2019s namesake and other co-director. \u201cI think it\u2019s been pretty successful \u2026.
