\"\"Dr. Kari Grain is the author of Critical Hope<\/em><\/a> (2022) and teaches at the University of British Columbia in the Faculty of Education, where she leads the Master’s of Education program in Adult Learning and Global Change<\/a> (ALGC). She is also a research associate at the Community Engaged Research Initiative<\/a> in\u00a0\u00a0Simon Fraser University’s office in the heart of the Downtown Eastside at 312 Main<\/a>. Her research in\u00a0experiential learning<\/a>, critical pedagogy, adult education, anti-racism<\/a>, and global\/local community engagement<\/a> has been featured in peer reviewed journals<\/a>, books<\/a>, blogs<\/a>, and podcasts<\/a>. At the nucleus of Grain\u2019s body of work is the belief that education has the potential to be a vibrant pathway toward systemic change and the honouring of multiple ways of knowing and being. Vital to that process of systemic transformation is an attunement to emotional, critical, and creative ways of knowing oneself and being in the world with others. As a consultant, Grain uses educational frameworks to help organizations and professional teams reimagine their goals and actions so that they are more communicative and relationship-centred. Foundational to Grain\u2019s understanding of research and teaching is the joy she derives from traveling, music, nature, and spending time with the people and animals she loves. Kari lives in Vancouver, Canada on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.<\/p>\n
