Michelle LeBaron<\/strong> joined the University of British Columbia Law Faculty in 2003 as a full
\nprofessor and was Director of the UBC Program on Dispute Resolution from 2003-2012. From
\n1993-2003, she taught at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and the Women’s
\nStudies program at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Prior to moving to the US, she
\ndirected the Multiculturalism and Dispute Resolution Project at the University of Victoria.
\nProfessor LeBaron has lectured and consulted around the world on intercultural conflict
\nresolution, and has practised as a family law and commercial mediator. She was called to the Bar
\nof British Columbia in 1982 after articling at Campney and Murphy in Vancouver.
\nProfessor LeBaron’s research focuses on how the arts can foster belonging and social cohesion
\nacross cultural and worldview differences. Her current project investigates how dance,
\nmovement and kinesthetic awareness can enhance practitioners’ and parties’ capacities to
\ntransform conflict and is the subject of a forthcoming book. Professor LeBaron’s most recent
\nbook is Conflict Across Cultures, with co-editor Venashri Pillay of ACCORD (South Africa) and
\ncolleagues from three other world regions. She has also published on creativity, intuition,
\nspirituality and intercultural relations.<\/p>\n

Kay Pranis<\/strong> teaches and writes about the dialog process known as ‘peacemaking circles.’ Kay learned
\nabout peacemaking circles in her work in restorative justice in the mid-90s Her initial teachers in the
\ncircle work were Barry Stuart, a judge in Yukon, Canada, and Mark Wedge and Harold Gatensby, First
\nNations people of Yukon. Since that initial exposure to the use of peacemaking circles in the justice
\nsystem Kay has been involved in developing the use of peacemaking circles in schools, social services,
\nchurches, families, museums, universities, municipal planning and workplaces.
\nKay has authored or co-authored several books about circles: Peacemaking Circles – From Crime to
\nCommunity; The Little Book of Circle Processes \u2013 A New\/Old Approach to Peacemaking; Doing
\nDemocracy with Circles \u2013 Engaging Communities in Public Planning; Heart of Hope \u2013 A Guide for Using
\nPeacemaking Circles to Develop Emotional Literacy, Promote Healing & Build Healthy Relationships.
\nKay works primarily as an independent trainer in the peacemaking circle process. She is also an adjunct
\nprofessor at Simon Fraser University, Eastern Mennonite University and Southwest Minnesota State
\nUniversity.
\nKay has a particular interest in the use of circles to support social justice efforts addressing racial,
\neconomic, class and gender inequities. That interest includes the use of peacemaking circles to
\nunderstand and respond to historical harms to groups of people. The peacemaking circle process has
\nbeen a source of energy, inspiration and continuous learning for Kay for the past 15 years.<\/p>\n
