Land-Based Social Justice Education

Land-based social justice education can be used to support the wellbeing of people whom we work with in the community and justice field. People who are impacted by the criminal legal system are typically also impacted by other oppressive forces such as colonization, white supremacy, and racial capitalism. Land-based social justice education focuses on learning from the Land in ways that are inherently decolonial. Students have the opportunity to learn Land-based social justice education practices in the context of connecting with the Land. An emphasis will be placed on Indigenous voices and cross-cultural Land-based social justice practices that inherently promote wellbeing for the people whom we work with.
