Biography
Angela Gonzales is an associate professor and Faculty Head of Justice & Social Inquiry in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. Before moving to ASU in 2016, Gonzales served on the faculty in the Department of Development Sociology at Cornell University. She holds a PhD in Sociology from Harvard University, and EdM in Education Policy and Management from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a BA in Sociology from the University of California, Riverside. Over the past decade, Gonzales has engaged in several community-based research projects on the Hopi Reservation. In 2007, she partnered with the Hopi Department of Community Health on a project aimed at identifying the factors associated with colorectal cancer screening among Hopi adults. From 2010-2015 she partnered with Hopi Cancer Support Services on a National Cancer Institute funded study, Enhancing Cervical Cancer Prevention Strategies among Hopi Women and Adolescents. The results of both studies have been used by Hopi Cancer Support Services to develop educational materials and intervention programs to better inform the Hopi community about ways to reduce their risk for cancer. Gonzales strives to embody the Hopi values of sumi’nangwa, nami’nangwa, and hita’nangwa in her research collaborations and involvement in Hopi community organizations. In addition to serving as the President of the Hopi Education Endowment Fund, Gonzales also serves on the Editorial Board for the Hopi Tutuveni. Gonzales is an enrolled member of the Hopi Tribe from the Village of Shungopavy (Spider Clan).
