About the Author

I'm Dr. Carrie Hutchinson, author of Creating a Culture of Belonging. This series was born out of my experience as a consultant and trainer for K12 schools and districts struggling with incidents of racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of exclusion and oppression.  
 I come to this work with an M.A. in Interpersonal Communication with a focus on the science of attitudinal and behavioral change, and a Ph.D.  in Communication Studies with an interdisciplinary emphasis in Psychology and a focus on Intergroup Perception.  I am a full-time professor in the Communication Department at Santa Barbara City College where I teach Interpersonal Communication and Leadership for a Global Society, and a partner at the training and consulting firm Ally to Accomplice.
