Biography
Hilary A. Lustick is Assistant Professor of Research and Evaluation in Education at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA. She has consulted with school districts, state agencies, and universities across the US to support sustainable restorative practice implementation.
"Indeed, there are many books written on restorative justice, and others on equity, and yet others on culturally responsive and sustaining education. But no other book brings these together, and does so for folks leading our schools...This is the blueprint for which we have all been waiting."
Muhammad Khalifa, Beck Professor of Education, Ohio State University, USA.
"Hilary Lustick has a long history of examining school leadership through a restorative justice lens - one that centers on culturally responsive and sustaining practices. This book continues that work, providing a theoretically grounded and research-driven framework for leading restorative justice projects in educational spaces. Both aspirational and practical, Lustick offers provocative reflections and pragmatic applications. This will be a great resource for principals, teacher-leaders, and anyone committed to more restorative schools."
Kathy Evans, Professor of Teacher Education, Eastern Mennonite University, USA.
