Dr Kristin Reimer is a researcher and senior lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, Australia. Kristin works to advance the idea of education as a humanizing practice. 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.
