Anthony Gallucci is a Visiting Professor at Naropa University, teaching across both the Graduate School of Counseling and undergraduate Psychology programs. Since 2020, he has been instrumental in developing curriculum and instruction in areas including Transpersonal Psychology, Jungian Psychology, Multicultural Foundations of Counseling, and Black-centered Counseling.
His educational background includes a Master of Arts in Religious Studies with Contemplative Concentration from Naropa University (2020), a Bachelor of Arts in History/Social Studies from Ithaca College (2008), and an Applied Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Tompkins Cortland Community College (2003). He is currently completing his PhD in East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies with a dissertation focusing on African American solo fathering as a transpersonal practice.
Gallucci's research centers on the intersections of psychology, Black studies, and transpersonal inquiry. His work explores African and Afrocentric perspectives, particularly examining Black masculinity, fatherhood as a transpersonal practice, and African plant medicine. His approach combines rigorous academic scholarship with contemplative practices and social justice frameworks. He is especially known for his phenomenological study of African American solo fathering as a transpersonal practice, which challenges conventional psychological frameworks.
Gallucci is deeply committed to culturally responsive pedagogy and equity-focused education. His teaching methodology emphasizes high student engagement and creates spaces for deep inquiry while fostering community and critical awareness among diverse student groups. He has developed original courses including Introduction to Black Psychology and has been instrumental in introducing African-centered counseling to Naropa's curriculum.
As an active community member, Gallucci serves as Sustainability co-chair at Naropa and founded the 'Re-establishing Masculinity' group, which addresses toxic masculinity through accountability and virtuous redefinition. His community work extends to curating the Boulder African American History Museum and contributing to Boulder Weekly's 'Black in Boulder' column. He is also a dedicated single father of four children, whose personal experiences deeply inform his academic work and community engagement.
