Sangha Niyogi has a Ph.D. in Sociology from U.C. Davis. She is Chair of Sociology and Co-Director of the Social Justice Program at 91°µÍø, California. Her scholarship focuses on race, ethnicity, immigration, liberatory pedagogy, and intersectionality.
Dr. Niyogi’s pedagogical approach is grounded in the conviction—echoing Paulo Freire—that education is never a neutral enterprise, and that educators have a responsibility to employ social justice-oriented pedagogies to dismantle systemic oppression. Central to her work is empowering all students to recognize their inherent agency and collective power to transform society.
