Bio/Research
Kym Maclaren founded the Transformative Justice Project (TJP) at Ryerson University. The Transformative Justice Project works, in collaboration with community organizations to:
Establish initiatives that address the social conditions leading to and resulting from incarceration; and,
Develop other, more transformative and community-based, forms of justice.
TJP’s current project involves facilitating conversations between youth and previously incarcerated people who were involved in gang-associated street-life. The aim is to encourage reflection on the social conditions of street conflict, to open up a sense of other possible life trajectories, and to enhance community engagement and respect for self and others. We're also aiming to institute a program inside prisons that will enable the same kind of conversation and reflection for incarcerated youth, with a focus on Black social history.
