Ruby Osoria received her PhD in Education with a specialization in Critical Gender Studies at the University of California, San Diego. Her research interest explores the formation of community-based social networks among Latina immigrant mothers and advocacy around educational (in)equalities, focusing on intersectional identities, such as race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and immigration, as valid measures of analysis. As a lecturer at California State University, Fullerton, she is committed to expanding pedagogical practices that center the voices of diverse communities of color and position students as equal contributors to the learning process.
