In 2017, the first diversion program for non-native adults was introduced in Quebec. The general alternative measures program involves the participation of restorative justice professionals to orchestrate these measures. This article presents secondary analyses of qualitative data collected as part of a research study conducted by a team at Laval University. It aims to shed light on the subjective experience of restorative justice professionals in integrating the program into their professional lives, through the lens of professional identity. The results, by showing that the integration of this program has generated numerous (re)flections among mediators and a revitalization of their professional culture, also reveal issues related to the deployment of restorative justice within the program and the criminal justice system, and the access to social justice in general.

The COVID 19 health crisis has had a particularly significant impact on the catering sector in France (restaurant closures, mass departures, etc.). But to what extent has the resulting destabilization disrupted the previous way the sector operates? In this article, we explore the extent to which the health crisis has undermined its "ordinary normativity", characterized by a strong demand for loyalty through informal arrangements, and the distancing of national andstate regulations. To do this, we will draw on material from two studies: one on restaurant directors and managers confronted with the health crisis, and the other on cooks' relationship to work. We show that, while the health crisis was accompanied by control regulations that were fairly well received by employers, it also put to test the informal supports on which loyalty is built in working relationships in the sector. The closures represented a suspended period of time, invested by employers in the continuity of previous modes of regulation. But the conditions of the reopening and the wage standards of regulation introduced by government aids helped to cast a shadow over the sector's "ordinary normativity" and gave rise to conflicts of loyalty - the scope and limits of which need to be questioned.

After the Covid-19 confinement period, telework and open spaces gained momentum. Six organizations (public, private and in social economy) were studied in the province of Quebec, and 66 semi-structured interviews were carried out between February and October 2023. Adaptations in the articulation between progressive return to open space offices and working from home were observed, and noted was a flexibility in working time and better work-life reconciliation. This study updates past research on work open-spaces, with the increase in telework, showing that the workplace has significantly moved towards employee homes. This has generated a new long-term organisation of family time and space. Consequently, while the family institution has evolved, the workplace becomes a place for socialising.
