About

Steve Vásquez Dolph, PhD (he/him) is an Associate Teaching Professor of Spanish in the Department of Global Studies & Modern Languages at Drexel University, where he also serves as a Teaching Faculty Fellow for the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the College of Arts and Sciences. His teaching and research situate the intersection of migration and climate change in the Americas, with a particular focus on food and land sovereignty projects in the Caribbean diaspora. Steve's teaching practice is rooted in longstanding partnerships with community-based organizations in Philadelphia and Puerto Rico, whose educational missions he supports through coursework, research collaborations, and co-learning experiences. Working principally from his identity as a child of the diaspora, and his perspective as a first-generation American, Steve works intentionally to expand access to and diversify participation within community-based global learning programs in higher education.
