Greetings from Northern India, the city of Lucknow (how about that name!) As of Jan. 2, I am teaching in the National Law Universities of India (there are 14 of them) as a Fulbright Senior Scholar under the sponsorship of the US Department of State, Council for International Exchange of Scholars and iFred’s Project Trust.
I am teaching Restorative Justice and Integrative Law (like Integrative Medicine) both including a focus on the connections between depression and crime. And of course we will be looking at the potential for these “new paradigm” approaches to crime and justice to reduce both depression and crime. (Fyi, I am a social worker turned lawyer, turned mediator – a pioneer and internationally recognized expert in the fields of Restorative Justice and Conflict Resolution. I live in Charlotte, NC.)
What is Restorative Justice? What is Integrative Law? What does depression have to do with crime? What does crime have to do with depression? And what does any of this have to do with Trust? I hope I have tweaked your interest – please stay tuned…
