Your partner in the messy work of transformative justice.
Alex Johnston is a student, facilitator, researcher, and consultant of transformative justice.
They work with leaders in non-profit organisations and schools to build community culture and write supporting policy. They also facilitate transformative justice processes in response to harm within schools and organisations.
Their work
Alex consults and collaborates with individuals, organisational leaders, and headteachers on applying a transformative justice lens to institutional cultures and structures. They write transformative organisational policy, and are a trained facilitator (RJC) in restorative justice processes. They are also a student and researcher (MA, MPhil), specialising in the use of restorative and transformative justice in UK schooling. Alex has worked in collaboration with organisations including The New School, Hackney Learning Trust, Cradle Community, The Advocacy Academy, and Maslaha.
Their approach
Alex works collaboratively to build mutual power through relationships. If you believe that you are fighting for the same thing, please reach out to continue to build together. Working towards transformative justice is messy and imperfect, and it doesn’t end. Justice is not a box that can be ticked, or a costume change - working together wouldn’t be a one shot solution: this would be a partnership.
Alex prioritises making the language and tools that they apply accessible to you, they offer the safety net and sounding board of a critical friend and, through these, will support you in gaining the confidence to step forward into uncertainty and spark transformative change in your organisation.
