This course will provide a critical introduction to the fundamental principles and practices of restorative justice including its historical and indigenous roots. The course explores the needs and roles of key “stakeholders” (victims, offenders, communities, justice systems), outlines the basic principles and values of restorative justice, and introduces some of the primary models of practice used both globally as well as locally. The course will also address the challenges to restorative justice—the dangers, the pitfalls—as well as possible strategies to help prevent restorative justice from failing to live to its full promise.

We will explore restorative justice via a literary lens, primarily engaging with creative writing from Palestine. Some of the fundamental questions we will negotiate are: how can expressivity serve as resistance in times of war and genocide? How can expressivity perform as a witness to destruction and joy, as well as an arm towards healing? How can expressivity work as resilience?
This course will be taught within the Inside-Out pedagogical model.

This course explores the writing and analysis of popular song by engaging with a wide range of musical styles and approaches, from the Beatles to Kendrick Lamar to Chappell Roan. Students not only learn to create and develop an original song, but also participate in the process of production and the logistics of performance. Most importantly, this workshop encourages students to explore their own unique poetic and musical voices in a supportive environment.

In this introductory course, we will explore the range of literary expressiveness including fairy tale, poetry, the conventional novel, the visual or graphic novel and the short story, as well as the classification of literature into specific genres; overall, of course, our main interest will be in exploring the source material for making textual and visual literary art with a focus on narrative “DNA”, i.e., the primary materials and impulses that generate story telling. Additionally, we’ll look at the arrangement of elements such as plot, narration, character, setting, language, voice, tone, theme, etc., comprising literary forms. Finally, we’ll consider a variety critical strategies for reading and thinking about the literary arts, as well as the power and significance of our own interpretive role.
