Aisha Hauser (she, her) is an accomplished religious educator, facilitator, author, curriculum developer, and anti-racism advocate. While Aisha started her professional career in the field of social work after earning a MSW from Hunter College in NYC, she quickly became involved in the religious education program in the first Unitarian Universalist congregation she attended and, there, found her love of religious education. Her experience includes serving three UU congregations on both the east and west coast and working for the Unitarian Universalist Association serving as Children and Families Program Director as part of the team that developed the Tapestry of Faith comprehensive curriculum. Aisha is a trainer for the Our Whole Lives comprehensive sexuality education program for all age levels.

Aisha, along with Christina Rivera and Kenny Wiley, co-created the UU White Supremacy Teach In movement. The UU White Supremacy Teach In resulted in two thirds (almost 700) of our UU congregations making time to understand how institutional racism and white supremacy was playing out in a liberal faith community.

The UU Teach In continues to offer resources to congregations through a website that is staffed by volunteers to continue the work of dismantling institutional racism. Aisha’s writings are featured in collections published by Skinner House most notably, she is one of the authors in the groundbreaking book, Centering: Navigating Race, Authenticity and Power in Ministry.

Aisha has served the wider denomination in many roles, including Chairing the UUA Nominating Committee and as President of the Liberal Religious Educators Association.

Aisha is the recipient of the 2018 Angus H. MacLean Award for Excellence in Religious Education and is a Credentialed Religious Educator at the Master Level.
