Bluffton faculty to discuss restorative justice writing
Dr. Rudi Kauffman and Heather Koontz, assistant professors of restorative justice and social work, respectively, at Bluffton University, will present a program at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, on a chapter they co-authored in a new book about restorative justice.
The event is free and open to the public beginning with a 3:45 p.m. reception in the Musselman Library Reading Room on the Bluffton campus.
Kauffman and Koontz wrote a chapter titled “Preparing Students of Criminal Justice for Restorative Justice Practice”—focusing on restorative justice education at Bluffton—in the recently published book “Restorative Justice Today: Practical Applications.”
Also participating in the program will be Jacklyn Wells, who has implemented restorative justice practices as Bluffton’s residence life director, and a student who has been involved in restorative justice through the university’s academic programs in social work and criminal justice.
