He completed his undergraduate studies at California State University, Northridge, then earned his doctorate from the Cultural Foundations of Education Department at Syracuse University, where he became the first Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in the university's history. Because he personally observed his older siblings and his community's talents and interests be denied and repressed due to a lack of resources and opportunities, he became interested in issues related to social justice. As a teacher-scholar-activist, Dr. Gonzalez takes pride in telling stories that challenge stereotypes and empower his community and communities alike. Back in 2018 he came on to promote his first book 21 Miles of Scenic Beauty ... and Then Oxnard since he came on the first time he has published his second book The Key to the City | La Llave de la Ciudad. The key to the city is about Jacobp. Jacobo comes from a Spanish-speaking home in Oxnard, California. Even though his parents speak Spanish exclusively, Jacobo is embarrassed and ashamed to speak Spanish in public, especially in front of his friends. But one day, this changed for him during a bus ride to the store. During this trip, Jacobo learns that he plays a very important role in his community. Since he speaks both English and Spanish, he is able to help out Spanish-speaking people like his parents navigate their daily lives. By the end of the bus ride, Jacobo realizes that he holds the key to the city. Make sure you grab his book. Enjoy this episode.
