Our Purpose
The Narrative Justice Project is a space for artists, activists, and lawyers to discuss, share and collaborate on issues at the intersection of justice and voice.
The ultimate purpose is to connect fields meant to be studied in parallel. When judges are unable to find a case or law review article to support a new decision, they at times turn to literature. When a poet creates, it is at times in relation to an experience caused by law or policy. There should be a space where artists and law and policy leaders can learn from each other, providing support and constructive criticism of each other’s work.
An additional aspect of the project is creating a body of narrative justice work for interdisciplinary teachers, artists, practitioners, and scholars to access, as they think critically about what it means to create, teach, read, and reflect on literature that defines or expresses identification with law and policy.
Thank you for your support and collaboration.
Sincerely,
Geeta Tewari, Director & Assistant Professor of Law Widener University Delaware Law School
