The Collaborative Center for Restorative Practices in Higher Education (the Collaborative Center) is an academic center within the International Institute for Restorative Practices Graduate School (the IIRP). In alignment with the IIRP mission, we aim to build a community where higher education practitioners and scholars can learn together, develop relational competencies, find camaraderie, co-create new knowledge, and implement restorative practices in higher education. As the Collaborative Center grows, we will explore opportunities to create outreach initiatives such as dialogues and webinars along with the current offerings listed below.

Research

At its core, the Collaborative Center is an academic center that seeks to engage in rigorous and collaborative research. To this end, we are committed to conducting and supporting research initiatives that generate new knowledge and spur innovation, challenge assumptions and old narratives, and contribute to developing equitable and inclusive higher education communities with restorative practices. Our research is in alignment with the IIRP Research Agenda.
