Research Workshop: Embodied Methodologies: Ancestral Knowledge for Collective Healing, Identity, and Resistance
Join Us Virtually via Zoom
This session draws and calls upon embodied and ancestral knowledge of earth-based peoples as resistance strategies to counter systemic oppression and epistemic violence. With Project 2025, an orchestrated agenda that entrenches white supremacy through policies, this session provides onto-epsitemic groundings to persist in the pursuit of social justice.

Dr. Ángel de Jesus González (he/they/elle) is an Assistant Professor of Higher Education Administration and Leadership at California State University, Fresno. They is a first-generation, Latinx, queer, joto scholar son to immigrant parents. Dr. Gonzalez’s scholarship interrogates power relations within higher education systems embedded with cisheteropatriarchy and compulsory genderism by examining how these racialized structures engage minoritized peoples broadly and Queer and/or Trans People of Color (QTPOC) communities specifically. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Dr. González employs critical theories and methods such as jotería studies, intersectionality, queer pláticas, testimonio, queer chisme, queer phenomenology, critical policy analysis, and QuantCrit to name a few.

Her scholarship is interdisciplinary in nature as she engages topics of Latinidad, LatinX identity, Indigeneity, education equity, race and ethnicity.

She employs decolonial methodologies to humanize the research process.
