Challenges and opportunities for using restorative justice frameworks for gender-based violence
Presenter: Michele Braley, MSW, LICSW & Dr Katie Querna, PhD, LICSW, RYT
1 CEU - may be counted as cultural responsiveness
Lifetime risk of experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) for women, queer, and trans people is as high as 90% in the USA. Increasingly, survivors of GBV are seeking restorative justice (RJ) as a more holistic, effective approach to responding to GBV than the current legal system. This experiential session will describe restorative approaches to GBV and explore their potential in the Minnesota context via the results of a recently completed, collaborative, community-based research project.
Presenters:
Michele Braley (she/her), Executive Director, Seward Longfellow Restorative Justice. Michele became familiar with restorative justice in 2002 when, with the mentorship of Alice Lynch, she helped develop and facilitate re-entry circles for people leaving prison. She is the co-author of the study, Challenges and Opportunities to Using Restorative Justice for Gender-based Violence. Michele believes in the potential for restorative justice to transform not just the legal system but all aspects of how we live and work together.
Katie Querna is an assistant professor and intersectional feminist gender researcher in the Social Work Department at St. Cloud State University where she uses community-engaged, contemplative, and creative approaches throughout her work.
