Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Eneida Padró, Ph.D., and Kate Shapero to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  Claire is joined by co-host, IIRP Instructor and Implementation Coach Nikki Chamblee, Ph.D. In this series of episodes, we explore what it means to “walk through tensions” - how we exist, find, and build community and forge a path forward through times of extreme polarization. Together, they explore how issues of polarization—exacerbated by the pandemic, political climates, and fractured relationships—are manifesting in schools today. Join us as Dr. Padró shares insights from her work supporting principals across the U.S. She speaks to the fractured relationships and uncertainty in schools caused by polarizing topics, and how leaders can begin to create supportive, trusting environments to navigate these challenges. Dr. Padró emphasizes the importance of centering humanity and relationships, particularly in schools serving marginalized communities. Kate brings her expertise as a science educator and restorative practitioner to the conversation, highlighting the double-layered polarization seen in K-12 settings. She discusses the complexities educators face when families and students experience issues differently—some engage deeply, while others shield their children from polarizing topics. Kate urges educators to cultivate curiosity and deep listening in students, creating spaces where conflicting perspectives can be explored with respect. Together, they discuss how restorative practices can be integrated into everyday school life to support students and staff, enhance relational health, and address issues of equity and inclusion. Whether it's by holding intentional check-ins, facilitating circles, or building authentic connections, this episode provides valuable tools for educators and leaders striving to create compassionate, equitable learning environments. Dr. Padró is Vice President of Instructional Leadership Academies at Relay GSE, leading the team responsible for the vision, design, and execution of all ILA programming. This includes the National Principal Academy Fellowship, the National Principal Supervisor Academy, the Inclusive Schools Leadership Institute, the Leverage Institute, and the National Structured Leader Professional Development.

Working with pre-K through post-graduate learners, she specializes in progressive curriculum design that is experiential, meaningful, and joyful. Teaching in a consensus-based K-8 school early in her career encouraged a deep curiosity about the science of relationships, especially how to humanely navigate conflicts and nurture trusting relationships among students and staff. This interest led to a master's degree in restorative practices education from IIRP in 2010 and continues today. As a restorative practitioner she collaborates with students, teaching teams, classroom communities, parent groups, and administrative staff to improve communication and relational health.  After almost 20 years in the classroom, Kate's current work includes facilitation, coaching, and professional development through independent consulting and roles with the IIRP, the Penn Literacy Network, and Unbound Ed.

Dr. Nielsen joins us to explore the growing polarization in higher education, particularly around religious, secular, and spiritual identities within the landscape of intersectional equity. Drawing from his experience in higher education and faith inclusion, Dr. Nielsen examines how these identities intersect with broader cultural and geopolitical tensions, offering insight into the complexities educators and students in higher education face today. He challenges us to rethink our approach to discourse and the importance of the proactive, rather than reactive, use of restorative practices.

Dr Małgorzata Tkacz - Janik przypomni historię trzech ważnych bohaterek, które u zarania II RP towarzyszyły pierwszoplanowym liderom politycznym – Józefowi Piłsudskiemu i Wojciechowi Korfantemu. W tej trójce najbardziej rozpoznawalna jest Aleksandra Piłsudska, ale zmiana perspektywy na herstoryczną powoduje, że zauważamy jeszcze dwie inne postaci, które w tym samym czasie, równolegle – co zaskakuje najbardziej – też pełniły w różnych okolicznościach role Pierwszych Dam. Są to Maria Piłsudska i Elżbieta Korfanty. Sytuacja sprzed stu lat rozbudza ciekawość i zadaje nam wiele pytań o niejednoznaczne dziedzictwo Pierwszych Dam w historii Polski i Śląska.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Michael G. DeAntonio, Ph.D., to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Dr. DeAntonio tells the story of how Buxmont Academy, comprised of six alternative schools in eastern Pennsylvania, USA, came to be from the minds of the founders, Susan and Ted Wachtel. He explains how their ideas became the foundation of how we use restorative methods with children in alternative school environments. He shares a powerful example of how restorative intervention diverted a young man who vandalized a classroom from criminal prosecution by bringing together those who he had harmed and working to repair that harm in both a socio-emotional and physical sense. In true restorative fashion, Dr. DeAntonio reminds us of where we've been, where we are, and where he would like to see United States education move towards in the future. Dr. DeAntonio has three decades of experience as an educator and administrator in public education. He's the executive director at Buxmont Academy, one of the IIRP's model programs. He served as an instructor in the Department of Secondary Education at Kutztown University and as an educational liaison for Buxmont Academy. Before that, Mike served as a principal and assistant principal and sits on the board of directors for the Pennsylvania Association of Student Assistance Professionals. His experience ranges from middle school science teacher to instructor of graduate students. His doctoral dissertation focused on the role that restorative practices play in high school environments.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes political scientist, Daniel Rios Moreno, to the Restorative Works! Podcast.   Daniel speaks with us about his role in intervening and diverting youths from the criminal justice system in Bogotá, Columbia. His team uses restorative methods to increase safety in response to violent action committed by youth in detention centers and schools. Daniel's team addresses acts of violence, not by increasing surveillance, but by tapping into what the youth find value in. Doing so creates interpersonal connection between staff and youth and increases safety by helping them respect the space they occupy.   Daniel also addresses the skepticism and criticisms of utilizing restorative methods in response to violent crime, citing dramatic reduction in rates of re-offending once youth have made contact with his team. The results have led to the expansion of his team, their reach, and their expertise. His work reminds us that safety and protection does not always come in the form of punitive measures, but instead through honoring what communities hold dear.   Daniel is a contractor for the Direction of Adolescent Criminal Responsibility in Bogotá, Columbia's Office of Safety, Coexistence, and Justice. Daniel works for the city government as part of the Juvenile Restorative Justice Program. His work with schools addresses situations of violence involving adolescents and diverts them from the criminal justice system when possible. Daniel is multilingual and earned a postgraduate degree in Management of Non-Governmental Organizations in Argentina. He is currently working towards his Master of Science in Restorative Practices at the IIRP.   Tune in to learn more about Daniel's work with youth in Bogotá and his approach to interacting with young offenders.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Kaleigh Mrowka, Ph.D., to the Restorative Works! Podcast.   Kaleigh speaks to us about the status of higher education as we continue to move forward through the pandemic and examining the disconnect between students and faculty, faculty and administration, and students with fellow students. She challenges fellow members of higher education community to reimagine the traditionally rigid concepts of the institution and to start to think of ways to co-create with students and others in the higher education sphere using restorative practice methodologies. Pushing back on staunch individualism that leads to loneliness, an epidemic in the US right now, leads to an increased sense of belonging and more equitable spaces in higher education.   Kaleigh currently serves as Associate Director for the IIRP's forthcoming Collaborative Center for Restorative Practices in Higher Education. She holds a B.A. in Speech Communication from Ithaca College, an M.S. in Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration from SUNY, Buffalo State, and a Ph.D. in Language Literacy and Culture from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her professional and research interests center around the development and maintenance of healthy and equitable communities through the use of restorative practices, relational research methodologies, integrative learning, and intergroup dialogue, she has presented regionally and nationally on living learning programs and the integration of restorative practices into residential communities within higher education.   Tune in to learn more about Kaleigh's work and keep your eyes open for more information about the forthcoming Collaborative Center for Restorative Practices in Higher Education, a hub for research, collaboration, peer support, and much more.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes restorative practitioner, trainer, and researcher, Arti Mohan, to the Restorative Works! podcast. Arti is the Restorative Justice and Practices Program Manager at Counsel to Secure Justice in New Delhi, India. She is also involved in restorative justice research, working on a forthcoming chapter “Mapping Restorative Justice in India” for the International Encyclopedia of Restorative Justice.  She is a member of the European Forum for Restorative Justice Values and Standards Committee since 2019 and teaches restorative justice in law schools in India and the US. Arti received her Master of Science in Restorative Practices from the IIRP in 2019.   Arti speaks about her work with children who are involved in the criminal justice system either as accused or prosecuted and the preference for complete diversion from the criminal justice system as the most desirable outcome for youth. She is helping stakeholders build capacity on working restoratively with these children.   In the forthcoming new chapter of the International Encyclopedia of Restorative Justice, Arti's involvement in the research uncovered that there are notable similarities between cultural practices across India and restorative methodologies, noting that honoring the voices of the most marginalized is core to repairing harm in both contexts.   Tune in to learn more about Arti's work and the future of restorative justice practices in research and practice.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Kiyaana Cox Jones, M.S., an educator, advocate, and Restorative Practitioner. Kiyaana has served in Higher Education as an Assistant Director of Multicultural Life and in K-12 education as Coordinator of Equity and Inclusion. She now serves as an Instructor and Implementation Coach for the IIRP, and as part-time faculty teaching Culture and Identity at the new Touchstone/Moravian MFA program. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Howard University and a Master of Science in Restorative Practices from the IIRP.   Kiyaana bridges the gap between restorative practices and the theatre with her interactive restorative healing theatre, The Brave Space On Stage. Through theater, Kiyaana provides the space and tools for people to build relationships with themselves and others. Using the social discipline window as a framework, Kiyaana teaches radical self-care that is reflective, creative, and exploratory as a conduit to healing and becoming one's most authentic self.      Kiyaana explains her experience with racial trauma and how she needed to find ways to reckon with her pain and displacement. That process began by engaging with herself in a restorative way, being with herself, which led her to being more restorative with others. She integrates restorative practices, art, creativity, and self-care in ways that resonate with students, teachers, staff, and administration. With this, she challenges us to become our best selves by investigating what it means to practice self-care for the betterment of ourselves as well as our communities.      Tune in to learn more about Kiyaana's work in restorative theater and the importance of self-care as essential to doing restorative work.

Druga Rzeczpospolita absolutnie bez pruderii i bez cenzury. Gdy wyobrażamy sobie epokę dwudziestolecia międzywojennego z pewnością nie brakuje w tym wyidealizowanej wizji Polski. Z mozołem odzyskana niepodległość miała swoje mity i swoich bohaterów. Oficerów w mundurach i eleganckie damy. Ale jak w tych czasach wyglądała polska obyczajowość? Okazuje się, że była w wielu aspektach bardziej progresywna niż ta dzisiejsza, a okres lat 20. i 30. oznaczał w naszym społeczeństwie prawdziwą seksualną rewolucję. W dzisiejszym odcinku zaglądamy pod kołdrę przedwojennych Polaków, porozmawiamy o największych skandalach z udziałem sanacyjnych elit, opowiemy o tym jak wyglądało zjawisko prostytucji, homoseksualizm i odpowiemy na pytanie czy w okresie międzywojennym został nakręcony nasz pierwszy film pornograficzny. „Seks w IIRP. Przedwojenna epoka hipokryzji”. Zapraszam na wyjątkowy odcinek historii jakiej nie znacie. Gościem odcinka jest Kamil Janicki, autor książki "Epoka hipokryzji. Seks i erotyka w przedwojennej Polsce" [Wydawnictwo Poznańskie 2022

Kiedy gra w dyplomacji ma sens? “Tylko wtedy, kiedy mamy dobrze określone cele” - mówi Krzysztof Rak, dyrektor Fundacji Współpracy Polsko-Niemieckiej i gość Witolda Jurasza. Czy więc można porównać dyplomację do tanga, czy jednak dyplomacja to twarde stąpanie po ziemi? W “Raporcie międzynarodowym. Ukraina” historia dyplomatycznych wysiłków od II RP i Piłsudskiego do Łukaszenki i czasów współczesnych. Dziennikarz Onetu i jego gość próbują tłumaczyć, czym jest gra w dyplomacji i dlaczego nie zawsze przynosi efekt. Dyskutują też o tym, jak dziś powinniśmy balansować w polityce międzynarodowej. “Dyplomacja nie jest czarno-biała, to poruszanie się w strefie szarości” - konstatuje Witold Jurasz. Ocenia też decyzję o ewakuacji rannych żołnierzy z kombinatu Azowstal i tłumaczy, czym - w jego ocenie - różni się polska wizja heroizmu od tej, którą dziś obserwujemy w Ukrainie.
