Description

For Native American Heritage Month, we're proud to bring you a short series where we spotlight some of our amazing Native and Indigenous faculty members at SJSU.

Today's episode features Alisha Marie Ragland, a lecturer for Anthropology and the tribal liaison for AB275 on campus. She joins us today to talk about her role on campus, her journey to academia, and how she has come into her Native identity throughout her life.
