For the most recent conversation in our #EndRape Expert Interview Series, we were joined by Dr. Alissa Ackerman, an experienced restorative justice facilitator. While she shared many insights into her work, Dr. Ackerman also gave recommendations to learn more about restorative justice as it pertains to sexual violence.

• The Profound Power of an Authentic Apology by Eve Ensler
• Our Story of Rape and Reconciliation by Thordis Elva and Tom Stranger
• Organizing Transformative Justice Responses to Gender-based Violence and Campus Sexual Violence featuring Xhercis Méndez in conversation with Dean Spade
