Karem describes herself as an immigrant. She notes that it has been her experiences of living in the boundaries – between cultures, between languages, between ways of knowing – that have inspired her to reflect on different ways of learning, of leading, and of understanding human development.

A discussion for the young and curious’ (forthcoming, Routledge), and is working on a memoir of lessons learned from her abuelas.
