Like others having or living in more than one culture, we get multiple, often opposing messages. The coming together of two self-consistent but habitually incomparable frames of reference causes un choque, a cultural collision.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Me - About Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>(she/her/ella) I am a Public Affairs and Policy Doctoral Candidate at Portland State University. My dissertation currently examines how remittances and the food labor system shape civic participation and government responsiveness in the United States and Latin America. My research agenda engages in fundamental questions about how the rise of free-market policies and globalization impact expressions of community, citizenship, and participation. As a daughter to farmworkers and sister of a deported veteran, my family's legacy in California and Mexico is the foundation of how I understand the construction of political rights across borders. My journey as a scholar-activist begins in California's Central Valley, a primarily low-income and heavily dependent on agriculture and oil. I consider my hometown at the juncture of local needs and global demands that create obstacles at several crossroads—income, class, identity, gender, race, immigration status, food systems, and environment. My desire for public service begins here. After completing my undergraduate course work at San Diego State University (SDSU), I moved to Texas and attained a Masters of Public Administration. During this time, I gained an interest in Mexico's public finance system through several research projects I worked on as a graduate student. My work eventually led to a fellowship at SDSU's Institute of Public and Urban Affairs and to my first academic publication. Today, I have presented several papers at various conferences, and in 2018 I was elected as one of the American Society for Public Administration's International Young Scholars. While in Texas, I worked in a local government as a financial analyst. Under great mentorship, I learned the inner working of public finance including, budgeting, finance, debt management, and managed an investment portfolio. After these foundational learning experiences, I moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue a Ph.D. in Public Affairs and Policy at Portland State University (PSU). In Oregon, I have served on a range of local councils, commissions, and community boards. My work at a local PSU Center has supported numerous projects that range from hosting the first-ever Latinx Institute for Public Service to number crunching for various public finance projects. What has felt true to me is merging the academic world with community and advocacy. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I have felt the urge to use my research skills and lived experience to help facilitate the Oregon Covid-19 Farmworker Study. I believe storytelling is at the center of enacting change. At California's Institute for Rural Studies, I have worked on a podcast story focused on how historical exclusions of the National Labor Relations Act complicate retirement for farmworkers. I also co-founded Desolate, the first-ever deported veteran zine founded to capture the stories of immigrant veterans. Today those Zine efforts have culminated into a strong immigrant coalition rallying behind the Leave No One Behind Mural Project urging action from the Biden-Harris and Congress to enact ethical immigration reform. I have taught a range of political science and policy courses at Portland State University and San Diego State University. Ultimately, I aspire to integrate my research skills with community outreach, advocacy, and storytelling to inform today's governance demands.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Storytelling - Voces Del Campo Limited Podcast Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Voces Del Campo series is a storytelling project inspired by Oregon's agricultural industry workers who brought food to our tables or worked the lands with their essential hands to keep their contributions in the public memory. As an outgrowth of the Oregon COVID-19 Farmworker Study (OR COFS), the series was launched to center the testimonies of farmworkers who labored throughout the pandemic and are calling for political change to improve their working and living conditions of all farmworkers. The three stories are based on two years of research with farmworkers from all across the state collected from 2020-2021 by fourteen community-based organizations and researchers at Portland State University, Oregon State University, and the University of Oregon. A sub-group of promotoras, community educators, and researchers turned to a storytelling initiative to piece together three stories that in-depth capture the complexity and the nuance of the farmworker experience.  Episode 1: Farmworker Woman Episode 2: Diversity in the Voices of the Field Episode 3: The Land is for Those who Tend to It</image:caption>

      <image:title>Teaching Portfolio - About Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jennifer Martinez was born and raised in California's Central Valley to farmworkers that settled in a community that was primarily low-income and heavily dependent agriculture and oil. Jennifer considers her hometown at the juncture of local needs and global demands that create obstacles at several crossroads—income, class, identity, gender, race, sexuality, immigration status, food systems, and environment. Unknowingly, Jennifer's desire for public service began here. After completing her undergraduate course work at San Diego State University (SDSU), Jennifer moved to Texas and attained her Masters of Public Administration. During this time, she gained an interest in Mexico's public finance system through several research projects she worked on as a graduate student. Her work eventually led to a fellowship at SDSU's Institute of Public and Urban Affairs and to her first academic publication. While in Texas, Jennifer worked in a local government as a financial analyst. Under great mentorship, she learned the inner working of public finance, including budgeting, finance, and debt management. After these foundational learning experiences, Jennifer moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue a Ph.D. in Public Affairs and Policy at Portland State University (PSU). In Oregon, Jennifer has served on Metro's Solid Waste Fees and Tax Subcommittee and Portland's Budget Advisory Council. She has also worked extensively with PSU's Center for Public Service on numerous projects. Her support to the center has ranged from helping host the first-ever Latinx Institute for Public Service to number crunching for various public finance projects. Today, as a Ph.D. candidate, her dissertation focuses on the impacts remittances have on democratic institutions and civic participation. She has presented several papers at various conferences, and in 2018 she was elected as one of American Society for Public Administration's International Young Scholars. Jennifer has successfully merged the academic world with advocacy, to what she calls and 'advocademic.' She has served on boards, such as Oregon Latino Agenda for Action, ASPA's Cascade Chapter, Repatriate Our Patriots, and is an associate editor at the Hatfield Journal of Public Affairs. She believes storytelling is at the center of enacting change. At UC Davis's Institute for Rural Studies, she worked on a podcast focused on how historical exclusions of the National Labor Relations Act complicates retirement for farmworkers. Jennifer also teaches introductory courses at PSU, such as U.S. Politics, U.S. Government, and Latin American Politics. Jennifer's portfolio is extensive. Ultimately, she aspires to continue researching public finance, civic participation, and along the way, integrate her research skills with community outreach, advocacy, and storytelling to inform today's governance demands.

      <image:title>Teaching Portfolio - About Homegurl Politix</image:title>
      <image:caption>Homegurl Politix LLC is an ode to Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands. I believe politics always hits at home, hence the 'home' in homegurl. Politics has gendered impacts, and the 'gurl' in home is a celebration of the womxn in our lives that have survived patriarchal societal arrangements and a reminder of the work that remains to reach gender parity across all genders. Politix is a gender-neutral term that reminds us politics and governing requires intersectional and holistic approaches. Homegurl Politix is the recognition that traditional ways of governing must be replaced with critical and fluid modes of sustainable governing that places importance on shifting values, civil rights, human rights, and environmental justice equally.</image:caption>
