Carrie Hutnick has been working in community-based and higher education settings to support engaged learning, collective action, and critical reflection for the past twenty years. Her teaching, research, and practice are all aligned with the principle that education is an essential tool and form of social change. She holds a B.A. from Providence College in Public and Community Service Studies, an M.Ed. from the University of Massachusetts in Higher Education, and a Ph.D. from George Mason University in Public Sociology. Her dissertation project, co-created with Reem Cotton as a form of participatory research and scholarship, examines learning across social difference and distance in carceral settings, as well as the possibilities and tensions that emerge from liberatory forms of learning in spaces where liberation is structurally constrained, denied, and discouraged.
Carrie’s ongoing work continues to address the social issues that cause harm and separate us from one another, and how right relationships can resist that separation while working on larger scale social transformation. She is a member of the Greater Freedom and Chester Think Tanks, two groups of educators who work together across carceral and other forms of difference to facilitate collective learning opportunities and collaborative efforts for positive social change. Carrie is excited to join Civic House as she believes strongly in the potential for social justice education, justice-oriented relationships, and collaborative efforts for justice to both strengthen the conditions of our shared communities and enhance our collective capacity to respond when any of us are in need.
