In this episode, hosts LTomay Douglas and Alanna Ojibway speak with Rochelle Arms Almengor about her chapter in Colorizing Restorative Justice: "Women Colorizing Restorative Justice in White-Led Institutions." Rochelle’s research is rooted both in her own experience as an RJ coordinator working in predominantly White-led institutions, as well as years of research working with other practitioners of color in schools. Rochelle’s chapter looks at both individual experiences navigating these institutions, as well as the broader issue of organizational leadership within schools/RJ programs, where those in positions of power consistently do not reflect the student communities they serve. Since the recording of this podcast interview, Rochelle is in a new position as Assistant Professor of Peace and Social Justice Studies in historic Berea College.
