Two-eared listening is essential for understanding restorative justice in Canada
Restorative justice was introduced in the western world in the late 1970s as a way to rethink crime and punishment.

In Times of Racial Injustice, University Education Should not be “Neutral”

SULAIMON GIWA: Cancel culture at work during Pride?
By Sulaimon Giwa “Police and Pride,” a dialogue event scheduled for June 5 that I was involved in planning, had to be cancelled because of backlash from White “allyship” in the St. John’s area.
