Dr. Michelle Clifton served for 20 years at North Park as professor and Dean of Faculty. She has published numerous books and scholarly articles in the area of theology and ethics. Michelle's passion is interrupting the US’s over-reliance on incarceration and finding creative alternatives, such as equitable and accessible education or restorative justice solutions, through collaboration with those most impacted. In 2018, Michelle founded the “School of Restorative Arts,” an MA program in Illinois’ prisons serving over 100 incarcerated men and women at Stateville and Logan Correctional Centers. The program is the first of its kind in the nation and offers a degree in restorative justice ministries. She is currently the founding director of prison education at Lewis University.
