Jamila Hammami is an educator and a SIFI-Certified Field Instructor.  After a decade of grassroots community-based education focused on lectures, training, and workshops, I began teaching as a professor in 2017.  My academic teaching background as a professor spans Community Organizing and Social Movements, Community-Based Justice, Ethnic Studies, including African and Arab studies, and Border and Carceral Studies.

I am trained in Open Educational Resources (OER) and was part of an IRB-approved, grant-funded study, “Pedagogical Change Through the Use of Open Educational Resources (OER): A Collaborative Assessment from CUNY Adjunct Faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences teaching in 2020″. My colleagues and fellow researchers, Disu, Dressel, Madoré, & Reed (2022), and I released an accompanying and acclaimed publication titled “‘The amount of labor we do for free’ and other contradictions. A collective inquiry into the pedagogical choices of CUNY adjunct and graduate student instructors who taught with free of charge materials during the year 2020.” through CUNY Academic Works.

Receiving my BSW in 2010 from the University of North Texas, MSW in Community Organizing and Program Development at Silberman Social Work at Hunter College, and my SIFI Certification from Columbia University’s Social Work Program in 2015, I began field supervising students in 2014, and social work students  (BSW and MSW) shortly after. I have supervised over 15 students from a range of fields, including Bachelor’s and Master’s students in Social Work and Public Health, as well as Undergraduate and Graduate students across fields of study in New York State and the U.S.
