'From Harm to Healing'. Crime victims and survivors have two things in common: they want the person who hurt them or their families to be held accountable and they want to make sure the person responsible for the harm never hurts anyone else. But what happens when the system fails and it is discovered that an innocent person was incarcerated? The impact of wrongful convictions creates a deep and wide harm to everyone impacted by this type of tragedy.
Join Jennifer Thompson and Professor Maryanne Garry for a conversation about our ideas of memory and judgement and the profound nature of human grace and the healing power of forgiveness.
This Hamilton Public Lecture will be held in Te Kōpūroa, The Pā, University of Waikato in Hamilton, starting at 4.30pm, 21st March.
Paid parking is available on campus at either Gates 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b or 10. Free parking is available after 4.30pm.
