What is Hackman Consulting Group?

The Hackman Consulting Group’s website states that the group was founded in 2005 by Heather W. Hackman.

It is a “cadre of highly experienced teachers, leaders and experts in their fields who are also highly skilled trainers.”

It continues: “We love what we do and more importantly we have a passionate and unyielding commitment to bringing about equitable and empowering change to organizations, our communities and our society as a whole… Given the depth and breadth of experience HCG brings, we can consult on an extremely wide array of deep diversity, equity and social justice issues such as racial equity in education, gender diversity in the workplace, or class equity issues in the non-profit sector. ”

On its information about their consultants, the group’s website also stated that Hackman has been “teaching and training on social justice issues since 1992 and was a professor in the Department of Human Relations and Multicultural Education at St. Cloud State University in St Cloud, Minnesota for 12 years before she began focusing full time on consulting.”

The bio continued: “She has taught courses in social justice and multicultural education (pre-service and in-service teachers), race and racism, heterosexism and homophobia, social justice education (higher education leadership), oppression and social change, sexism and gender oppression, class oppression, and Jewish oppression.”
