Greetings, Prospective Students,
My name is Dr. Anika Jones, and I teach the Honors: Introduction to Sociology course forthcoming this semester. Have you ever pondered or are you curious about "why do you think the way you do?" This course is a self-exploration course. While you are learning about society--you will also learn about yourself!
I chose two images to represent aspects of myself. The first is my idol: Sojourner Truth, the famous abolitionist and campaigner for women’s rights. I am currently working on an awesome revisionist history project where she is granted full access as an academic, social scientist, and gender scholar.
The second image represents my mantra to make self-care a priority every day! I try to do something for my mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual body every day.
