Dr.
Hogan is a Professor and Chair on the
Human Services Department at California State University, Fullerton. She has
also served as an Adjunct Professor in the Anthropology Department since 1986.
Her specialties include American culture and urban and applied anthropology in
the areas of business and government anthropology. Dr. Hogan has taught courses in anthropology and race/ethnic relations for
over fifteen years. She has also taught courses in Human Services (an applied
program) since 1982.
During the 1990-1991 term, Dr. Hogan served as Chair of the Committee to
Institute the Applied Anthropology Program (CAAP) and as coordinator of the
Internship program for the Anthropology Department. The goal of this committee
is to link applied anthropology students with internships in the community. The
committee envisions the process of providing students with job networks for
developing careers in anthropology as well as, in a larger sense, infusing the
"anthropological difference" into the policies and procedures of the
local work sector.
Dr. Hogan has been involved in
numerous applied anthropology projects. She served as Program Coordinator for
implementing desegregation plans for twenty-six school districts from 1974-1983,
a federally funded program through the Department of Education. Since 1984 she
has worked as Field Director for the Office of Civil Rights and State Department
of Education conducting civil rights evaluations of school districts through
Southern California. In 1989 Dr. Hogan designed and implemented through
the CSUF Office of Extended Education a multi-cultural training program for
managers working in four domains: business, health, education, and human
services (non-profit sector). Based on the rich storehouse of cultural concepts,
this applied anthropology training program teaches personnel a body of knowledge
and skills enabling them to successfully communicate and interact in
multi-cultural work settings. Clients in this program include: Kaiser
Permanente, TRW, McDonnell Douglas, FHP, City of Santa Ana, Digital Equipment
Corporation, Fairview Developmental Center, Orange County Department of
Education, the Federal Correction Facility at Terminal Island, and the Health
Education Committee of the Orange County Human Relations Commission. Lastly, her
work in applied anthropology includes serving for three years as President of
the Board of Directors of the Coalition for Children, Adolescents, and Parents (CCAP).
CCAP is a nonprofit agency, which has been providing family life education
programs since 1979. Dr. Hogan-Garcia has helped to infuse cultural awareness
into CCAP programs to families in Orange County.
