This course delves into the theory and practice of reconciliation, exploring ways to satisfy human needs and promote peace. Through a multidisciplinary approach, participants will examine the key theoretical concepts underpinning justice and reconciliation and explore their contemporary applications in post-war settings both locally and globally. The course will also critically analyze various popular expressions of societal justice and reconciliation, including the International Criminal Court, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, Restitution/Reparations, and Reintegration Strategies. Participants will study and compare parallel and collective indigenous justice efforts with dominant justice systems. The course will also focus on new hybrid justice models that aim to satisfy the collective needs of traumatized societies, and ways to ensure a future transmission of generational justice embedded with a concern for the common good and reconciliation.
