Gina M. Rosabal, Ph.D. - Consultant - Oakland, CA
Gina M. Rosabal has been a Social Justice Educator since 1985, in academic, non-profit, and community settings. A bilingual and bicultural (Latina) scholar/activist, who is also queer, parenting, and living with the joys and challenges of AD/HD, Dr. Rosabal brings experiential and theoretical understandings of intersectionality to the core of her work.
Currently directing Student Diversity Programs and co-directing the Summer Academic Workshop (SAW) Program at Mills College, Dr. Rosabal designs and implements workshop series and retreats that invite both reflective self-awareness and a deeper understanding of power dynamics in privilege, oppression, and liberation. She emphasizes the need to move beyond the numeric representation and “awareness raising” of diversity training to encompass the institutional and cultural transformation components of the social justice paradigm.
Prior to working on the Student Affairs side of academia, Dr. Rosabal held tenure in Women’s Studies at Mankato State University (currently University of Minnesota at Mankato), where she designed and taught a wide range of intersectional and interdisciplinary courses. She also led workshops on curriculum diversification without tokenizing, and multicultural pedagogy. Dr. Rosabal has participated in seven NCORE conferences over the last twelve years, and served on the Executive Board of CaCCCHE since she relocated to California in 2006.
