Sujatha Baliga will discuss her past decade of work to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline through restorative justice, with a focus on how adults in schools settings can personally and interpersonally benefit from restorative principles and practices, and how positive adult relationships and approaches to conflict transformation can spread to the children they serve. Sujatha Baliga speaks publicly and inside prisons about her own experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse and her path to forgiveness. A former victim advocate and public defender in New York and New Mexico, Baliga was awarded a Soros Justice Fellowship in 2008 which she used to launch a pre-charge restorative juvenile diversion program in Alameda County. Her work has been profiled in The New York Times Magazine and The Atlantic.
