American Indian Studies Faculty
2016-2017 AIS Faculty
2015-2016 AIS Faculty in FO3-306
The American Indian Studies faculty is comprised of two full-time faculty who are California Indian Women, Dr. Theresa Gregor and Cindi Alvitre. The part-time faculty is comprised of faculty that generally have a sustained history of participation within the urban American Indian community of Southern California, the coastal indigenous communities of Southern California and in the subject areas of the courses that they teach. Many of the American Indian Studies faculty work closely with the American Indian Student Council — the Native American Student Association, the CSULB NAGPRA Committee, the CSULB American Indian Science and Engineering Student Chapter and with the office of American Indian Student Services.
Welcome Dinner for New AIS Assistant Professor Dr. Theresa Gregor
The American Indian Studies Program welcomes Assistant Professor Dr. Theresa Gregor (Iipai/Yaqui) Ph.D.. Theresa is the first tenure-track hire in American Indian Studies since the 1970s. This is because the tenure-track faculty in AIS over the past thirty-five years have been hired as 50% joint-appointments in AIS and another department. CSULB is very pleased to welcome Theresa Gregor as the first 100% AIS tenure-track assistant professor in over 40 years!
