ABSTRACT Maroon societies are seriously understudied in the restorative justice (RJ) field, which is odd considering their age-old struggle against retributive justice systems. Precisely because the rise of Maroons can be understood as an attempt to ‘reappropriate conflict’ and bring back legal protection to formerly enslaved African-Americans who had been subjected to the crudest of laws under colonial regimes, we should not forget that history when considering how RJ can contribute to or replace criminal justice systems in the 21st century. In Suriname, a renewed interest in the Maroons has recently boosted the RJ movement. Against the background of a discussion between maximalists and abolitionists, we reactivate the ‘transferability debate’ by asking if and how maroon justice in the country’s interior can be brought to the city and help its criminal justice system to develop RJ. Our answer combines 20th century anthropologists’ work on maroon justice in Suriname with the first steps that we have taken in our own ethnography with ex-detained Maroon and Creole youth in Paramaribo and their receptiveness to hypothetical RJ measures.

ABSTRACT This study used integrative review methodology to synthesize research on the relationship between school-based restorative practices and exclusionary discipline outcomes in the United States. Exclusionary discipline outcomes were defined as out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, and referrals to law enforcement. A literature search produced 5,764 publications, and 11 studies were included in the final sample. Peacemaking circles were the most common restorative practice implemented, and secondary analysis of school records was the most common method utilized. Findings indicated that restorative practices are associated with reduced suspension rates, which suggest that school-based restorative practices are a promising approach to reducing exclusionary discipline outcomes.

ABSTRACT This paper, developed by participants in an Economics of Crime course at Northeastern University in conjunction with their professor, highlights student perspectives of the relationship between the economic system, its operations and institutions, and the marginalization and victimization of Black people. The paper addresses specific attributes of the course curriculum that facilitated student understanding of these topics, and in doing so suggests an alternative pedagogy for discussing crime from an economics disciplinary perspective. The inclusion of historical context in the criminalization of race and poverty aligns to bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress, as course engagement centers on social context and responsibility while also critically assessing economic models of crime that have arguably obscured the relationship between racial discrimination, economic opportunity, legitimized slavery, and monetization of human life, and instead have provided credibility to economic incentives for crime by assuming rational behavior and free will. Additionally, inclusion of the causes and criminalization of groups and resulting student outcomes from the course provide an example of bell hooks’ learning community and reflects the engagement between students and their professor.

ABSTRACT Abolitionist-academics who bring abolition into the classroom are teaching to transgress quite literally in the service of and hope for freedom. This article relies upon thirty in-depth, international interviews with academics teaching in universities and prisons. The research questions emotional labor’s hidden toll on abolitionist scholars and finds that within the interdisciplinary field of critical criminology, participants commonly experienced working through hope, love, loneliness, fear and anxiety. While this research supports earlier understandings of the impact of expectations of caretaking on marginalized scholars, I also find that those who experience personal histories of criminalization may be especially vulnerable to burnout and pushout.

ABSTRACT This paper describes an example of collaborative teaching between a university professor and a community advocate with lived experience with the criminal justice system. Inspired by bell hooks’ concept of boundary crossing, we describe the course logistics and the possibilities that collaborative teaching holds to challenge traditional notions of justice and power in the university classroom.

ABSTRACT As both first-generation, working-class Canadians from Italian immigrant families we were very much outsiders to the academy when we began our respective university studies in the late 1980s. Today, as third-generation critical criminologists, we strive to bring an intersectional perspective to the classroom and to likewise enable marginalized students to find their voice and position themselves as active subjects, not objects of others’ inquiry. From sharing the insights offered by Left Realism and Zemiology the authors offer an autoethnographic account of teaching crime and justice. In keeping with hooks’ observation that the reality of class differences is starkly revealed in educational settings, this paper seeks to explore the intersections between teaching and learning as a process that involves existential self-reflection towards a critical pedagogy aimed at creating an inclusive teaching and learning space that challenges myths, demythologize power relations, and promotes social justice.

ABSTRACT In 2019, I created a 60-minute docudrama titled ‘Mira’s Minders’, which examined specific challenges and incentives associated with working as domestic caregivers in West Bengal, India. My research attempt part intentionally and part serendipitously has materialized into the kind of academic practice hooks (1994) recommends- by reconceptualizing knowledge, by taking on a different route than traditional research, highlighting the minority experience from an unusual context, and through bringing in a diverse worldview to the undergraduate and graduate classroom. And yet materializations of such labors of love require thoughtful deliberation. I discuss the methodological and pedagogical implications associated with making a visual project on social justice, which is transnational in scope. For methodology this requires cultivating a thoughtful research design, initiating a timely research conversation with other stakeholders, developing detailed bilingual interview schedules, juggling research protocols with visual documentation, and finally making sense of a rich and complex repository of data. The pedagogical implications include invoking a form of self-actualization, tasks associated with introducing multiculturalism, establishing the close-knit connection between theory and practice, drawing on empathy and finally facilitating learning through the visual process.

ABSTRACT This article outlines four pillars of restorative pedagogy, drawing on relevant literature as well as collective learning distilled through a reflective circle process held by the authors during a course called Teaching Restorative Justice at Vermont Law and Graduate School. The four pillars are (1) prioritizing relationships, (2) practicing self-reflection, (3) cultivating dialogue that unearths social systems of oppression, and (4) utilizing strategies for creative and experiential engagement. These four pillars generate a space that promotes a deep integration of class material and activates the community toward social change. The authors reflect on their experience sharing a classroom community as students and professor and on the impact of these pillars on cultivating education as a practice of freedom.

ABSTRACT In economics, race is often used as an explanatory variable. However, context for observed correlations is not often discussed and when it is, the discussion truncates history to the 1960’s and the era of the Civil Rights movement. The latter is consistent with the projection that regulation has limited or eliminated racial disparity and therefore, other factors, cultural and individual, account for observed economic status. However, the evidence to counter this is observable. For example, to the extent that the intergenerational impact of oppression is factored into economic analysis, and qualitative attributes such as anxiety and depression are incorporated into the explanation for the persistence of poverty, social norms rather than race are revealed to be the contributors to present period variations in economic outcomes. Inspired by bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress we address how the teaching of economics has contributed to the normalization of racialized discrimination. We then address how the economics curriculum can be used as a tool to facilitate racial equity. The discussion adds value to the discourse on race by addressing how the commoditization of teaching has eliminated classroom engagement and critical thinking and concludes with the value of transgression in addressing social justice in economics.
