Description
As a first-generation college student, I began my higher education journey with no clear path. After being introduced to research, I learned how my personal experiences shape my scholarship. Little did I know that the questions I asked in my scholarship would also clarify my purpose, molding me into a Pan-Africanist and community-engaged scholar advocate. Join me as we discuss how scholars are informed by their work and how their work helps them find their why.
Dr. Jakia Marie ('13 & '16)is an assistant professor of Sociology, primarily teaching courses in anthropology and African and African American Diaspora studies. She holds a B.A. in liberal studies, an M.Ed. in Higher Education with an emphasis in college student affairs leadership, an M.A. in anthropology, and a Ph.D. in Pan-African studies. Dr. Marie’s work theoretically and empirically explores race, gender, ethnicity, and identity intersections within social and educational constructs in Africa and across the African Diaspora.
