15 - We’ve Ended Up Where They Begin (Transformative Justice Part 1)

We are getting back to our roots this week, with an intimate conversation between Shelleena and Nneka (and Amanda). Out cohosts sit down to chat about a research project and initiative that @WomenatthecentrE has been undertaking for the past several years. In this first episode, of what will be a mini-series, Shelleena and Nneka outline the origins of the Transformative Initiative and Justice Model, highlight the kaleidoscope of data used, and introduce the “5 C’s” used for data analysis. In particular, Nneka explains why an alternative model of justice is necessary for survivors of sexual assault and the ways in which WomenatthecentrE became involved in this specific project.


This week we’re drinking Inniskillin Discovery Series East West Pinot Grigio. We gave this wine a buzz rating of 4.13/5.
