The Restorative Justice Research Community (RJRC) was launched in 2022 to support and advance research on restorative justice and addressing inequities in the context of the US criminal legal system. RJRC projects are developed using an emergent approach, grounded in the needs of the field. One of the projects advanced by the RJRC includes a cohort of academic research fellows. The fellows project was developed in response to an identified need for academic researchers to build relationships with each other, and with their local communities. To this end, the RJRC supports a cohort of fellows to engage in quarterly, 3-hour facilitated discussions. In preparation for the discussions fellows are asked to review selected readings and to engage with their local communities, to help stimulate and expand their thinking. These facilitated discussions are intended to provide the space to raise issues and deepen thinking, not solve issues or come to consensus. Fellows recently completed their third facilitated discussion which focused on concepts including the restorative justice identity conundrum and co-optation. The first cohort of fellows includes: Anne Hobbs from University of Nebraska Omaha NE, Shannon Sliva from the University of Denver CO, and Rochelle Arms Almengor from Berea College KY.
