Professor Dunn-Salahuddin has been teaching at City College of San Francisco since 2012. She strongly believes that the classroom can be a transformative space where one can begin to change the circumstances of their life through education. As a field, American History has historically excluded the experiences of many groups within the United States; it is important to include those voices and experiences rendered invisible. Learning ones history translates into knowledge of self, and knowledge of self ultimately equals power.
