Donna Lee Granville is an accidental sociologist who believes that the intersection of history and biography is the key to understanding what happens in our lives individually and collectively. As a sociologist, Donna teaches courses at CUNY-Brooklyn College that are geared towards helping students of all ages and backgrounds discover how history and biography connect in their own lives—making them a unique human form with a distinct purpose to fulfill. By telling her story as a first generation college graduate and 1.5 generation immigrant, Donna encourages students to boldly tell their own stories as a form of liberation, an invitation to progress and a way to practice sociology.
