The Community of Restorative Researchers welcomes new members to its International Advisory Board
Now entering its third year of operation, CoRR aims to contribute towards maximising the benefits and minimising the risks of the growing use of restorative justice and restorative practices.
It does this by facilitating an open and critical dialogue within the field, and by acting as a hub through which information can be shared, and communication and collaboration can be enhanced, between researchers and others involved in the field in different contexts and capacities.
In the summer of 2015, CoRR recruited members for its first International Advisory Board (IAB) in order to help achieve these aims. IAB members served a one-year term, which ended on 31/07/2016.
Ian D. Marder, founder of CoRR and final year Ph.D. student at the University of Leeds’ School of Law, said:
“In the last couple of months, I have been recruiting further persons to serve on CoRR’s second IAB. Like last year, the quality of applications was incredible, and I am delighted to announce that, in keeping with tradition, every single applicant has been accepted on to the IAB (including many who kindly agreed to serve for a second term).
This means that our board now comprises 37 individuals representing almost 20 countries. They include academic and independent researchers, students, project managers, policymakers, practitioner and activists. They will serve on CoRR’s IAB for two years, from 01/08/2016 to 31/07/2018.”
