Carmen Gonzalez

Both of Professor Gonzalez's grandmothers were named Carmen - in fact, it is probably the most popular name in her extended family. In Latin, Carmen means a song or a poem.

Enjoyment: Professor Gonzalez enjoys teaching Communication, Power, and Difference because her and her students are able to collectively examine social issues through a historical and political lens. When the students become more aware of their roles in systems of privilege, they can better understand the world around them and do their part to combat inequality.
