PhD: drawing a line
About the project
AHRC funded doctoral research, northumbria university, newcastle, 2017 – 2021
Howard Zehr considers ‘the intersection between justice and the arts … to be one of the most promising frontiers in the restorative justice field.’
In April 2017, I was awarded Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funding to commence a PhD within the Northumbria-Sunderland Centre for Doctoral Training, Northumbria University. My doctoral research crosses between design and restorative justice and is broadly about the meaning of co-creative making, gifting and solidarity within restorative justice processes. More specifically, it is about the connections that may be experienced by restorative justice participants and whether or not a specially created hand made object can contribute to any sense of solidarity between them, in the aftermath of crime.
