Today's reading had me think a lot about students in the now and my students of the future. Question such as how do we help develop community leaders, activists, and those dedicated to the cause of social justice for the benefit of their communities. What can I do as a teacher to show my students that there are wrongs in their communities and we must be aware of these wrongs for the greater good. How to integrate civic praxis where students are given the opportunities and resources to make change in the communities reside. But one thing as to be clear the change has to be made by those who reside within the community and not outside since they do not know what struggles, oppression, and injustices the population face. They way I would integrate a cap stone for a 3rd grade class is first talk and point out something things that they don't feel right about. Things that they notice that makes them feel uncomfortable or left out. Recognize those issues and tie in into the grand scheme of social justice and then invite students to further elaborate why they get these feelings and what is something they're thinking of doing to change it. Then I would invite students to participate in a writing activity to capture those feelings and thoughts in a form of a letter, journal entry, letter, essay, or what ever form they chose to write in.

It was really interesting to hear Dr. Sacramento's work be explained and presented in front of us. To have the explanation of RADICAL Asian-American studies be argued as a more inclusive way to think of all Asian-American identities in one. To know the histories and foundations of Asian-American, the term, and the causes that lead up to it being so significant was interesting. especially because my knowledge and histories of Asian-American studies is so broad and not in depth. It was also cool to witness first hand how ethnic studies impacts communities in the perspective of Asian-Americans, I've seen it with other ethnic groups but Dr. Sacramento's work expanded that for and go to see how it positively impacts the Asian-American communities.

This class really had me looking into the complexities of ethnic studies and there are even more issues that reside within. Such as the importance of Ethnic studies being taught by those who come from that ethnic background. The issue of racial hierarches within certain ethnic groups, for example within the Asian community and how Koreans and Japanese people are treated different from southeast Asian such as Thai and Vietnamese people. Also questions and thoughts that were raised were who writes the bar and who moves that bar when it comes to academic expectations and when will the work of people of color be validated without having to go through some form of PWI research.

What resonated with me is Dr. Sullivan had some crazy and powerful mic-dropping statements. The topic of how queer history is white washed and casts aside the people of color who are involved. To the final statement made about asking a question is better than answering. It sat there for a while with me and still does but in a positive way. Also finding out that Brazilian waxes are tied back to porn that was crazy to me. Also how gender theory involves everyone no matter what one person identifies it effects our lives everyday and in many ways.

To me it was crazy seeing how UC Berkeley wanted to do away with the whole Ethnic Studies Department in 1999. I always had this picture of UCB always being inclusive and one that welcomes ethnic studies with open arms but it just shows the real intentions of the time were for the admins. As an UCB graduate I never knew these things happened let alone the strike and the fight to keep the Ethnic Studies Department alive.
