Sociology graduate students Jaclyn Tompalski and Shelby Deane discussed Indigenous justice practices with Grade 10 Civics students. The two gave a lesson on transformative justice last Friday to the class at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Kanata. They developed the lesson module as part of a team project with graduate student colleagues Emily Monchamp, Emma Leger, and Hijaab Yayaa for the Sociology grad seminar Transforming the Criminal Legal System led by Professor Aaron Doyle. The team are working to make the lesson module available to teachers throughout the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.
Thanks to Sociology PhD student Jon Cappello, who is Vice Principal at AY Jackson for arranging the class visit, and to Contract Instructor Kathleen Moss for previously inviting the team to rehearse the lesson in her third year Teaching Sociology to High School Students class.
