In this episode, April and Danielle are joined by Chris Diggs and Dr. Rafael Rodriguez to discuss restorative practices. Listeners might recognize Dr. Rodriguez, NYU’s Associate Vice President and Dean of Students, from his previous episode in season 2, episode 8. Chris is the Senior Director of the NYU Changemaker Center.
This conversation explores the key concepts of Restorative Practices and how they can be used to build and maintain the relationships in our lives. Restorative practices have their origins within indigenous communities who have historically resolved conflict by focusing on strengthening relationships between individuals and ties to one another in their communities. Chris and Rafael share how they use restorative practices in their own professional and personal lives.
