Event
Day 2 - Transformative Justice in Communities of Color
This international convening brings together two strands of recent conversation among anti-colonial and anti-racist scholars and activists. First, reparations discussions tend to get stalled on the question of returning money and land. How can we begin to shift the conversation toward reparations for cultural imperialism, violence (including police violence and gender violence), and ill health among communities of color?
Second, a conversation is emerging among anti-colonial and anti-racist activists and scholars around the question of transforming our communities. The need is great to move beyond relying on the state for peace and justice; yet law and the state may be necessary partners. Is restorative justice a useful paradigm? Is the word healing appropriate? What some people are calling transformative justice attempts to move law to the sidelines, yet at the same time be realistic about the obstacles that the prison industrial complex presents to transformative efforts.
The convening will consist of two sets of events: The annual Olmos Lecture at Boalt Hall School of Law on Thursday, September 11 (speaker: Professor Eric Yamamoto, University of Hawaii School of Law); and a day-long public session, Friday, September 12, on transformative justice in communities of color.
