Karen Boatman defines education as changing behaviors and attitudes and increasing knowledge and skills. This goes beyond schooling and includes the work of community agencies and non-governmental organizations. She designs programs to improve the quality of life especially for marginalized populations. This involves, for example, improving higher education and schooling as well as health and income production programs. She works in poor areas of the United States, Europe, Africa, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
