Short Bio
After receiving Transformative Mediation training through the Center for Dispute Settlement in 2019, Kim began mediating through Community Dispute and Resolution Center in Ithaca in 2020. The origins of her interest in transformative mediation began as a parent practitioner and staff member at the Center for Nonviolent Education and Parenting in Los Angeles where she was introduced to transformative, restorative and trauma sensitive practices. Kim regards transformative mediation as a practical application of principled nonviolence and, as a transformative practice, a viable component to the prison abolitionist vision of building a society that does not rely on violence, punishment and retribution as a means to resolving conflict. Kim holds a M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Memphis.
