Dr. González is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of English at Santa Clara University. He is a 2022 national recipient of the K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award in Higher Education from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).

His scholarship is located in culturally sustaining writing pedagogies, creative writing studies, two-year college writing studies, and writing across the curriculum. His research centers how writing courses and programs at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Emerging HSIs make meaning of their designations through transformative and liberatory practices.
He currently serves on the Editorial Board and Publications Review Board of the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Clearinghouse. He is also a board member of the First-Year Composition Archive (FYCA) and an elected Co-Chair of the Creative Writing Standing Group of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC).

His research is forthcoming in various edited collections and peer-reviewed journals such as College English, Teaching English in the Two-Year College, and the WAC Journal.
