Our Team

The CRC is a collection of thoughtful, committed, community engaged grassroots leaders,staff, students and scholars learning together in the field of social action. We actively seek equity in the recruitment of co-learners representing different lived experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, religion, age and ability. We seek to develop a shared understanding of the value of social justice and the vital need for universal participation in collective inquiry and social action, particularly from oppressed and marginalized groups.
