Kimberly Pearce (M.A., San Jose State University, 1984) has been teaching at De Anza College in the San Francisco Bay area for over 20 years. In addition to her full-time teaching load, she is a co-founder of two organizations, The Public Dialogue Consortium and Pearce Associates, working with clients to create better patterns of communication in private and public settings. Kim’s commitments as a practitioner and researcher involve the connections among Buberian dialogue, adult transformational learning, and the Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) as leverages for creating more inclusive and reflexive ways of being and acting in a globalized, postmodern world. She has authored a handbook on facilitating dialogic communication as well as authoring and co-authoring a number of articles on dialogue and CMM. Her work as a practitioner includes a number of projects in the United States as well as in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Denmark, England, Ireland, Greece, and France.
The seeds for the Public Dialogue Consortium were planted in the mid-1980s at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. We are a group of educators, consultants, and practitioners who promote high quality communication on public issues. We are held together by our shared values and our pleasure in working together.
