Susan Englander, renowned history professor in the 2010s, was a transplant to California in the 1970s. She attended San Francisco State in the 1980s and UCLA in the 1990s in US History, receiving her Ph.D. Her impact on history lies in the fact that she believes that anyone can be a historian and tell the story of their own and others’ lives.

She plans to do this for a very long time.
