Myths, tractors, rumors, coin collections, stories. They are all part of Dr. Yovanna Pineda's path of research. A Guatemalan-American Professor of History connects stories that are developed through machinery and agriculture. It may sound different, somewhat nerdy, even. But, you are in for a treat with this soon-to-be second time book author located at the University of Central Florida.
Dr. Pineda also shares the challenges she has faced while working to be promoted to the next level of the professoriate. Listen in on this delightful conversation with Dr. Pat Sanders, a thought leader concerning women of color in higher education.
Do you consider your work to be "creative" or "traditional" scholarship? This week's guest, Dr. Kimberly Garza, says you can do both, successfully. A creative writer and professor of literature, Dr. Garza has recently published a book that includes three different languages- one for each of the ethnic backgrounds that she proudly claims.
She makes it a priority to share authors of Latin descent with her students at the University of Texas- San Antonio, which has a large Hispanic population. In this episode of "This Prof Life: Women of Color in Higher Education" join Dr. Pat Sanders and Dr. Garza as they discuss the importance and necessity of creative research.
When we pursue our dreams, it may lead us down more than one path and even to a different outcome. Whitley Greene, an adjunct dance professor, says that is what led her to teaching at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Currently, she shares her passion with students at the University of North Texas. In this episode she has an impactful discussion with Dr. Pat Sanders after following her heart, but while keeping it real at the same time. Whitley is honored by the privilege to learn, lead, and serve through the Fine Arts.
We pick up where we left off in Part 2 of a conversation with Dr. Aerial Ellis, who shares how important it is for people of color to feel as if they belong at an institution. In other words, a person of color has been hired or included, now what does it take to retain them?
That word, "belonging" has become a significant part of the diversity, equity and inclusion conversation and agenda.
