Meet our Founder and Lead Coach, Adrienne M. B. Davis, and learn about the Current Praxis restorative approach. Explore what it means to embrace both accountability and action and align our practice in community!
Transformative communities of practice are intentional about acknowledging and respecting the unbreakable bonds of humanness--even when harm is caused and especially when power dynamics are at play. While creating mechanisms, processes, and practices that allow for purposeful engagement and value alignment, members also cultivate an expansive imagination for the ways we can be and learn together.
Despite our best efforts, no organization can avoid the very real impacts of micro and macro aggressions and "diversity related incidents" that cause deep harm to individuals and communities. Learn more about the ways bias impact may present or "show up" for different people and circumstances.
Bias Impact Response draws upon transformative and restorative community practices to offer meaningful incident response planning, support, coaching and training. This approach focuses on creating space for:
incident impact identification
collective solution seeking
community care and support
shared accountability
You play an important role in supporting more meaningful outcomes after bias impact has been identified. Impact response begins with YOU!
Restorative impact response leads with whole community care and restoration versus retribution and punishment. Wrap up your course with some final reminders and an invitation to continue developing your practice!
Adrienne was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and engaging. Well done.
I really enjoyed this session. I would really like to learn how restorative practices can be applied outside of bias incidences (e.g., general community climate in my department, classroom setting, dealing with violations of academic integrity, etc).
