Abstract
This article takes restorative justice as an example of an initia-
tive that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and that has been usefully applied
within educational contexts. Grounded in criminology, restorative justice also
has roots in psychology, education, sociology, peace studies, philosophy and
law. The article draws on an ESRC funded seminar series which investigated
interdisciplinary perspectives on restorative justice and their applicability
to education. The series found that the ways in which restorative justice
is conceptualised and applied varies according to disciplinary norms and
assumptions. It is this creative tension that this current article explores
