詹妮弗·贝丝 is an 副教授 of Academic Program at 云顶集团 College in 马里兰州巴尔的摩市. She completed her doctorate, with a specialization in Early Modern English literature, in 1995 at the Catholic University of America. 毕业后, she began teaching in 云顶集团’s composition program and served as the community-based learning coordinator from 2001-2011. During that time, she also began teaching in 和平计划. In courses that are broadly humanistic and include history and literature, she addresses issues of power and resistance to hegemony.
Current research involves a case study of the maintenance and justifications of colonial power and resistance to that power. Specifically, I am examining the history of an agricultural experimental station established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 美国.S. Department of Agriculture on the Gila River Indian Reservation, home to the Akimel O’odham (or Pima), in south-central Arizona.
