Nana Lawson Bush, V, Ph.D. is a Professor of Educational Leadership and Administration and Pan African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles and the former director of the University California Irvine and Cal State Los Angeles Joint-Doctoral Program in Urban Educational Leadership.
I am Professor of History. I specialize in the early modern history of Brazil and Latin America and indigenous history of the Americas. I am currently working on a book manuscript that employs native-language documents to retell the early history of eastern South America (1500-1800).

I am a Professor of Psychology at Cal State LA, where I enjoy teaching statistics and cognitive psychology. My teaching goal is to equip students with modern skills and perspectives they can carry with them well beyond their time at Cal State LA. My research focuses on how to teach hard things to all students. To do this, I draw on an interdisciplinary blend of improvement science, technology development, and learning science theory.

For many years I have had the opportunity of working in a large, public, urban university with many experienced and talented faculty teaching a diverse group of graduate and doctoral level students. My overall professional and personal goal is to promote social justice, and advocate for and support all my students in becoming highly effective classroom/educational leaders in the Los Angeles community.
