At USC, Carlos works at multiple levels, whether as a mentor with first-generation college students, or as committee member & co-chair in multiple departments, or as an instructor in the classroom, to bring real equity into all aspects of university life.
Nathalie Joseph – Faculty Mentor
Nathalie’s love of teaching and analysis has finally won a hard-fought battle over her twin obsessions with handbags and chocolate. Having grown up in Glendale, Professor Joseph earned her BA in Los Angeles, briefly sojourned in Seattle, and earned her PhD in Literature from UCSD. In her classes at USC, she repeatedly leverages different visions of Los Angeles, from “Bladerunner” to the concept of culture-jamming, in order to develop writing prompts for her students. A faculty advisor for Scribe, she looks forward to continuing the online publication’s traditional focus on the thoughts and experiences of Angelenos. Through all of this, she secretly dreams of a second career as a handbag designer or chocolatier.
