Dr. Jamie Gates

Dr. Jamie Gates, cultural anthropologist and former director of Point Loma Nazarene University’s Center for Justice & Reconciliation, pursues the connection between faith, scholarship and activism. While he has a national reputation as an expert on human trafficking, Jamie’s passion, scholarly activity and activism include immigration and border relations as well as racial and economic justice.   He co-led the university in establishing the Beauty for Ashes Scholarship Fund for survivors of human trafficking to get their college degree. He co-led the efforts to develop a drama-based peer-to-peer human trafficking awareness and prevention curriculum in San Diego’s middle and high schools, called kNOw MORE. 

“I am a dreamer, a connector, a teacher, a scholar and an activist with a deep calling to nurture the prophetic imagination (ask me about this if it's an unfamiliar phrase).”
