This paper uses critical race theory to analyze several case studies focused on the experiences of two restorative justice coordinators (RJCs), both Black women and how they understood and responded to perceived racial injustices in urban schools with white leadership. These schools were attempting to address unequal disciplinary practices toward students of color through restorative justice and the RJCs adapted their approaches to addressing racialized dynamics while also developing school-wide networks to foster broader critical reflection on race. They navigated the risks of challenging white privilege and systemic racism both of which at times limited their attempts at influencing change.

本文使用批判种族理论来分析几个案例研究，这些案例研究的重点是两个恢复性司法协调员（RJC）的经验，这两个都是黑人女性，以及她们如何理解和应对在白人领导下城市学校中种族不公的现象。这些学校试图通过恢复性司法来解决有色学生的不平等纪律做法，而责任珠宝业委员会则调整了他们的方法以解决种族化的问题，同时还建立了学校范围的网络以促进对种族的更广泛的批判性反思。他们克服了挑战白人特权和系统种族主义的风险，而这有时都限制了他们影响变革的尝试。
