She has developed arts-based community engagement initiatives and is enthusiastic about harnessing the creative power of the arts for personal and social transformation. 

Robin’s experiences in music and education sparked her interest in collaboration and dialogue. Robin recently completed a Doctor of Education at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York, where her research explored equitable and democratic approaches to adult learning. She has published on collaboration in adult learning, the importance of self-reflection in facilitation, and community-building through artistic practice. She is thrilled to be joining the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue and is eager to contribute to the important work of the Mitigating Wildfire Initiative.
