Hollis France serves as Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at the College of Charleston, where she has worked for 21 years while teaching one course per semester and managing departmental operations including scheduling, advocacy, and resource allocation for faculty, staff, and students.
She earned her BA in Political Science from Jersey City State College (now The College of New Jersey) and PhD/M.Phil in Political Science from the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY).
France's research pioneers decolonial and emancipatory methodologies examining Guyanese Indigenous women's regeneration of community economies of well-being and diverse leadership models. Her interdisciplinary work spans political economy of social solidarity economies, Indigenous social economy epistemologies, and gender studies through Diasporic feminisms. As a member of the worker-owned Transformative Teaching Collective, she collaborates with the Indigenous Wapichan Wiizi Women’s Movement in Guyana to challenge colonial power hierarchies and co-create equitable pathways.
France actively contributes to African American Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Women and Gender Studies programs. Her departmental leadership emphasizes co-imagining futures with faculty talents while advocating across institutional levels, though specific grant details and student advisement records aren't documented in the provided texts.
