TTF: Guest Workshop: Integrating Restorative Practice to Promote Discussion

Event details Date: Thursday, August 13, 2026 Time: 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM Location: Online Type: Lecture / Workshop Registration: https://bc.campuslabs.com/engage/event/12490494 About this event Join Clara Cahill Farella and Melissa Hunt (Office of the Dean of Students) to learn about the foundations and practices of restorative justice and its potential uses for the classroom. Outside the classroom, various Boston College stakeholders use restorative practices — structured, relationship-centered processes — to proactively build community and reactively respond to harm by centering the needs of those most impacted and prioritizing accountability and repair. However, some faculty at Boston College have also experimented with restorative practice as a pedagogical tool that can enable students to engage in more honest and frank discussions of hot topics within a structure that anticipates conflict and can support repair. Participants in this session will be introduced to restorative practices, learn about relevant resources at Boston College, and consider where there might be opportunities to use this as a pedagogical tool.
