About this episode
Yowei has a problem. She's having trouble explaining the show to people who don't get it. She knows proxy conversations work. But why? How? Part 1 of a 4-part quest to solve the mystery of proxy conversations. Yowei learns about a proxy conversation happening in a completely different context: restorative justice with proxy survivors and offenders.
From the episode:
- Learn more about Dr. Alissa Ackerman and her work
- Ampersands Restorative Justice
- Alissa's book Healing from Sexual Violence: The Case for Vicarious Restorative Justice
