Articles and Resources

LMU Restore in the Division of Student Affairs at Loyola Marymount University aims to help students grow in their development of skills for managing conflict when it naturally occurs through providing education and resolution options. It also fosters relationship building and harm prevention efforts for the campus community focused on transformative, equity-based policy, practice and systems change. LMU Restore was awarded an Innovation Grant from the Jesuit Association of Student Personnel Administrators (JASPA) that was executed between 2020-2022. The Grant Summary Report was authored by Julia Wade, and the grant funded the Restorative Justice Conference Facilitators Apprenticeship.

Restorative Pedagogies in Primary and Secondary Education: A Review of Selected Literature

Restorative pedagogies are a set of practices aimed toward centering student well-being. Restorative pedagogies offer an approach to teaching/learning that seeks to remedy persistent patterns of punitive and exclusionary school-based practices. In Restorative Pedagogies in Primary and Secondary Education: A Review of Selected Literature, author Gwynn Alexander employs a constructivist grounded theory approach to first define restorative pedagogies, then offers key themes that emerged across the body of literature.

Pedagogy of Transcendence: A Framework for Positive Peace & Restorative Justice in Education

LMU CURes is proud to share the recent publication of the book chapter, Pedagogy of Transcendence: A Framework for Positive Peace and Restorative Justice in Education, co-authored by University of San Diego's Dr. David Karp and Dr. Antonio Jimenez-Luque and LMU's Gwynn Alexander, Project Development and Grants Coordinator. Gwynn shared, "What I love so much about this framework is that the pursuit of transcendence can be crafted in any classroom with positive peace and through theoretical constellations of cognitive justice, restorative justice, and the pursuit of critical consciousness. This book chapter is not offered as an end point, but rather as a launch point toward broader visions of transcendent spaces for learning in primary and secondary education as well as far beyond."
