Biographical note

Kristin Reimer is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, Australia. Kristin works to advance the idea of education as a humanizing practice. Humanizing education is focused on the whole needs (not just academic) of the individual and the larger world, implementing educational practices that assist us to recognize each person’s inherent worth and strengthen the essential ties that bind us together. Restorative Justice Education (RJE), the main focus of Kristin’s work, is one such humanizing approach in schools. With RJE, educators focus on building strong relationships in schools and rigorous, healthy learning environments.
