Henry Solares

Buenas! My name is Henry Solares, my pronouns are they/them, and I am originally from Southern California with parents from Guatemala. I am a proud first-generation former transfer student (Mt. SAC) and excited to teach in the department that gave me a bachelors and a masters degree. I am an applied cultural anthropologist and I have worked in a bunch of different fields in Humboldt County. The applied work I am most proud of, was my time as a grant writer for the Yurok Tribe’s Planning Department during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I owe my success in that role to my indigenous collaborators with their endless patience and kind mentorship.
