Show Notes

Today we have Dr. Karen Crozier on the show. Dr Crozier is a proud native and resident of Fresno and is driving innovation, and change, on racial and environmental  justice in agencies and individuals. Dr. Crozier received her B.A. in Psychology from UCLA in 1991, and her M.A. in Education (Early Childhood) from California State University, Fresno in 1996 along with her multiple-subjects teacher’s credential and cross-cultural language academic development credential in 1994 and 1999, respectively. In 2005, she received her M.A. in religious education and her Ph.D. in theology and personality, or practical theology, in 2006 from Claremont School of Theology.  She is a former associate professor of practical theology and administrator of faculty development and diversity in Christian higher education. In addition, Dr. Crozier is a former early childhood educator and 7th grade Algebra teacher with over 20 years experience in both education and church ministry. Her current community leadership efforts include black reparations, African American infant mortality, and educational equity and justice.  Dr. Crozier is an entrepreneur who brings scholarly activities such as critical thinking, careful analysis, and a radical imagination to engaging racial equity and justice. This was a great conversation and to be completely transparent we get into the weeds of various religious issues here. But we also cover things like Critical Race Theory, gender inclusivity, equitable redevelopment, urban ministry, and much more.
