I am Brielle Harbin, PhD, owner and lead professional development consultant at Your Cooperative Colleague® (abbreviated YCC). I am an award-winning college professor who specializes in teaching about social identities, power, and difference. I've also published teaching and pedagogy research on these topics including "Pedagogical Principles and Classroom Strategies for Teaching Race" and "Developing Students' Cognitive and Affective Understanding of Race."
I have over a decade of experience helping faculty and other campus leaders at universities across the United States create and maintain inclusive, equitable, and antiracist learning spaces. As a consultant, I draw on evidence-based strategies to help faculty members and other campus leaders transform their day-to-day work habits, structures, and processes to better serve all college students, underrepresented faculty, and staff members. My commitment to this work is fueled by my experience as the first person in my family to attend and graduate from an elite and Ivy League college, earn a Ph.D, and pursue a career as a tenure track faculty member. Given what I've learned, I am committed to helping others navigate higher ed institutions.
Whether you're looking for one-on-one coaching or small or large group meetings, I have workshop offerings that address various campus contexts: from the university classroom to residential housing. I work with individuals at all levels of experience; from those already embedded in an antiracist learning community to individuals (or groups) at the very beginning of their equity-centered and/or antiracist learning journey.
