Kristen Langellier

Kristen Langellier

  • Assistant Professor
  • Ph.D. Counselor Education and Counseling, Idaho State University
  • Kristen’s clinical focus is concentrated on college student identity development, empowerment, gender issues, first-generation student issues, and many more. She practices from an intersectional feminist and relational cultural lens. Kristen is deeply passionate about social justice and counselor education; much of her research and other scholarly/creative activities are about subjects at the center of two intersecting concepts. These concepts include classism within academia, first-generation students as professors, and weight-based oppression.
