My career at City College started in 1976 when I was hired as a full time Library Technician I (3616) to supervise the Library Circulation Department from noon to 9 p.m. (my best work schedule ever). In 1978 I was hired as a part-time reference librarian and in 1980 was hired as a full time librarian.

My mother taught at City College in the Vocational Nursing program so I knew about the wonders and successes of this great institution long before I started working here. I am so thankful that I can be a part of it. I really love City College!

I currently am one of four faculty representatives on the Facilities Review Committee and I Chair the Works of Art Committee; I am an active member of the Diego Rivera Mural Projects Committee. In the past I served on the Executive Council of the Academic Senate and on the Executive Board of AFT 2121; I chaired the Rosenberg Library/LRC Building Committee.

I am Chairwoman of the Board of the Central Asia Institute.

Women's Studies Department


B.A., San Francisco State University; M.A., Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania

Ms. Gatlin has been teaching at CCSF since 1991.

Ms. Gatlin believes that education is a life-long process. Courses and teachers provide the skills, tools, and, above all, the motivation for students to continue to learn.

Her formal education was only the beginning of her self-education in the subject she loves, because when she was in graduate school, no courses existed in women's history. History is far more than facts and dates; it is interpretation and meaning, making connections between the past and the present, putting together or synthesizing a variety of documents and other materials, and discovering the gaps in the historical narrative. Who is there and who is not - and why?

Her main goal is to inspire students to think critically and to always analyze the context of an event or individual life. She emphasizes the need to read carefully, compare and question sources, and develop communication skills in speaking and writing. Success as a teacher comes not only when students develop an increased interest and proficiency in the subject matter, but also from their growing confidence in their own intellectual abilities.

She has been involved in the CCSF Scholarship Committee, Asian Infusion Project/Seminar Series, Human, Women and Civil Rights Committee, AFT 2121, and Friends of the Library.

Professor Johnson has been a member of the CCSF faculty since 2002.

He states as follows: "I view it as my job to infect students with problems: problems with easy answers to difficult questions; problems with uncritical acceptance of those answers; problems with having so many problems. In a case where the illusion of a cure is worse than the disease, opening students up to our own mutual disease must be worth something, right?"

Professor Johnson is the faculty advisor to the Philosophy Club -- home to, in his opinion, the most consistently well informed and interesting conversations he has ever witnessed on campus.

He has published/presented papers on various topics in philosophy: The Philosophy of Race; the Philosophy of Mind; The Philosophy of Biology; Comparative Ethics (particularly Confucian Ethics); Free Will; Epistemology. My current project is a book on Critical Thinking and rationality more generally (tentatively titled, A Change of Mind). A first draft of some initial chapters along with information on all of his courses can be found at his website: http://ccsfphilosophy.editme.com
.

One of Professor Johnson's extracurricular activities is spending an inordinate amount of time on grandiose theories about completely unimportant phenomena: e.g., why do some foods tend to group together in the way they do and why does it seem there are only about 10 or 12 types of faces in the world. Other than that, he feels that he wastes way too much time on the Internet.

Social Sciences Deparment

I received my MA in US History from San Jose State, 1996.

I have been teaching at CCSF since 2001.

What I love best about teaching at City College are the views and experiences of a diverse and international student body that I learn something new from each semester. We must understand history in order to shape our future. And we must go beyond history as presented in the movies and in the news to the original primary documents and experiences of the people who were there. Never take someone else's word for it, not even mine, students need to discover for themselves the lessons history has to teach us. My goal: to convince each student to add a minor in history to his/her educational goals. You can visit my website at: www.VoicesLikeYours.com

I am a member of the MultiCultural Infusion Program. I also make it a point to attend as many on campus lectures and presentations as possible and encourage students to do the same. Part of the college experience is to listen to and learn from as many different people, experiences, and ideas as possible.

I am also a member of the Organization of American Historians and the Western History Association. I enjoy attending their conferences both for the stimulating presentation of current research and for touring national historic sites.

Besides teaching I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading (of course), museums, and martial arts.

Mr. Moreno has been a member of the CCSF faculty since 1991.

As a history instructor at CCSF, he is dedicated to teaching students how to appreciate the multi-faceted nature of the historical experience in a critical, analytical, intellectual and academic way. His courses challenge students to utilize historical subject matter to teach themselves how to make the study of history valuable in the present.

In this effort, "my courses follow a methodology of "teaching students to think critically by way of thinking historically" in order to inspire in them how a proper understanding of the historical discipline will develop a liberating thought-process. My courses challenge and develop many important intellectual and academic skills; skills that will prove to be useful and profitable in many endeavors. Some of them include: one's ability to read and write at a sophisticated and college educated level; one's ability to think independently and critically by way of thinking historically; one's ability to listen attentively to complex and controversial issues, thereafter being able to express oneself concerning said issues, verbally as well as in writing, in a responsible, mature and knowledgeable manner; one's ability to engage themselves intellectually and emotionally in many of the important subjects and concerns that are the substance of the human experience."
