About

Professor Jenn Wilson-Gonzalez began teaching at Oxnard College in the fall of 2017. She currently teaches history courses on the U.S., Mexicans in the U.S., Women in the U.S., modern World, and Latin America. Prior to Oxnard College, she taught at Mt. San Antonio College, Santa Ana College, and the University of California, Riverside. She has also taught courses on CSET preparation (US and World History), and has presented at various conferences, panels, workshops, and events. In 2020, she became the Oxnard College Honors Program Coordinator.

Professor Wilson-Gonzalez earned her A.A. at Mt. San Antonio College (with Honors), B.A. in History at UCLA (2009) (with Honors), and completed her graduate work at UCR (2012). Her graduate work focused on the history of California (Los Angeles) and on the historic preservation of its built environment.

As a beneficiary of the community college, and as a “non-traditional” student, Professor Wilson-Gonzalez understands the numerous and diverse obstacles that many community college students face. She is dedicated to providing the scaffolding, knowledge, and encouragement required to help prepare her students to achieve their educational, career, and personal goals. She’ll even throw in a few corny history jokes and anecdotes for good measure.
