Dr. Andrea Crenshaw is an Associate Professor at the University of West Georgia in the Department of Early Childhood through Secondary Education. Andrea received a B.S. in Early Childhood Education, an M.S. in Social Foundations in Education from Georgia State University and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from the University of Georgia. She is an active member in numerous professional organizations such as the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). Her research is broadly focused on the intersectionality of race and class in education, teacher education, culturally responsive pedagogy, and critical race theory in education. Her scholarship examines these issues by illuminating the voices of youth and adults who have been historically and traditionally marginalized in schools and society. Prior to her appointment at the University of West Georgia, Dr. Crenshaw worked in K12 as a teacher and administrator in which she was committed to an interdisciplinary approach of inquiry and advocacy in urban contexts. Dr. Crenshaw has been able to take her knowledge, experience, and skill to higher education as she trains the next generation of educational leaders. Dr. Crenshaw is committed to embedding relevant issues of diversity into her practice, scholarship, and service.
