Common Ground: Community Conversations are free opportunities to connect with others who are advancing, exploring, or curious about restorative practices in higher education. These Community Conversation events will recur every other month with new guest speakers and rotating IIRP facilitators.   

Our first Common Ground: Community Conversations event is Restorative Practices at a HBCU: Building Community through the Restorative Theatre Performance Project. Facilitated by IIRP Lecturer Kiyaana Cox Jones, with guest speaker, Professor & Coordinator of Playwriting at Howard University, Denise J. Hart.

In addition to conversations around the topic, participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and resources, build connections across institutions, participate in breakout discussions and Q&A, and receive practical ideas for implementing restorative practices on their own campuses.
