Eileen Dombrowski is Canadian, with an academic background originally in English literature (MA, University of London). She has been teaching TOK since 1988, finding great pleasure in both the eclectic reading it inspires and the classroom experience. Her home school is Pearson College, a United World College in western Canada, and she has spent a year in Italy and two in Norway at sister colleges. In the CAS programme, Eileen brings a TOKish twist to several activities concerned with human rights and the environment. Her passions include ice cream, earrings, and long walks by the ocean. She was been a TOK examiner since 1990 and served as TOK deputy chief examiner between 1997 and 2002.

Update August, 2008: Eileen's website for teachers, in support of the textbook she co-authored with Lena Rotenberg and Mimi Bick, Theory of Knowledge Course Companion (available from the IB shop online) and published by Oxford University Press. The book deals with the whole TOK course, centred on students and encouraging international perspectives.
