History speaks loudly through Dr. Nic John Ramos, whose research on the histories of minoritized communities aims to amplify their oft-marginalized voices.
Ramos, jointly appointed in History and Africana Studies, serves as an assistant professor in the Department of History at Drexel University in Philadelphia. The professor first pursued collegiate study and research pertaining to poor people of color and queer and trans people — persons who were familiar to Ramos in appearance and life experience.
