I’m Dr. Mary J. Lomax-Ghirarduzzi, some people call me Dr. Mary J. - the host and creator of this show. 

I’m an academic leader and professor of communication at the University of the Pacific, California’s first and oldest university.

Humanizing Us brings forth stories of real leaders that I have named as “Humanitarians in Action.”

The Humanizing Us podcast is an innovative approach to critical scholarship and knowledge creation through the power of the personal narrative.  I’m a teacher-scholar and storytelling are my favorite form and method of learning and discovery. Plus, storytelling is the most interesting intellectual tradition.  

Join me as I bring forth stories of leaders who I name as real life “Humanitarians in Action.”  Real people who are doing the work as change agents making a difference in their communities and society.
