Meet Carol Lynne D'Arcangelis

Dr. Carol Lynne D'Arcangelis is the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Researcher of the Month for September!

"All of these various threads – for example, realizing my lack of knowledge about the Mohawk territory; my introduction to feminism in Guatemala and the Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations I observed there - have combined in different ways. I made it here despite myself. What I mean to say is that being a university professor was never in the plan. My life unfolded in such a way that everything came together and in the end it brought me to a place that fits me. Social justice is at the heart of why I am a professor. I love theory because it can push us in the direction we should be going in – it’s our imagination and creativity at work. It’s people trying to make meaning and moving forward and coming up with solutions which they never knew existed. Theory can shape reality."
