TWLF Codeswitch reminder!

*2020: In over 25 states, ES is either not taught or explicitly deemed illegal in K-12 and public colleges.*

Same as miwa. these (us) JA's always on the white side of history.

Also this first point about how black folks built their own colleges... thinking about THAT as an alternative to higher ed. Esp with the funding issues still on the horizon...

maddening that a Japanese AMerican person was hired to squash the movement

did not know a lot about the Mexican American Studies struggle in Arizona

Knew most of the stuff around the college level - wondering about other thinkers like Gary Okihiro - his argument about Asia did not come to America but America went to Asia was very foundational to my understanding of self and how colonization works

how did the hunger strike go?
Cool that one of the founders of ES as a department was Asian/Asian American
I want to know about the forced disappearance of ES professors and teachers

Did not realize  there was such a recent history of banning ES

Having a reaction to the language of "ethnic" being non-white, feels like the language perpetuates itself

Learned some of this for the first time in the Asian Americans documentary series that came out this year. Should not have taken that long!! Also Didn't know it wasn't legal to teach ES in certain states. I am a teacher and am def doing these things anyways lol

Only learned about TWLF on Code Switch! Didn't know the history before/after.

TWLF strike include AAPIs but also the strike breaker was AAPI (the history of different Asian ethnic groups in the US is also relevant)
Black studies has a longer history than other forms of ethnic studies
Curious why hunger strikes are tactic
I hadn't realized how few colleges and universities had ethnic studies; I mean NU was still fighting for an Indigenous studies department when I was there, and I barely missed being able to major in AsAm studies without another major
The defunding of ethnic studies was a particular project of NC (my home state)'s previous governor

1890s, 1998, and 90's was new info

I remember Takaki in my Asian American Studies class workbook

Interesting about GPA increase w ES

Curious about what tools/resources might exist for ethnic studies instructors at PWIs to defend attacks from administration around eliminating and/or defunding ethinic studies programs?

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know that  there are no Ethnic Studies coordinators in CPS.

Takaki's Strangers from a Different Shore and A Different Mirror were really formative readings for me.

i had no idea the TWLF strike for ES was the longest student strike in history!!! that's badass
is te berkeley hunger strike where Northwestern students got the idea to hunger strike for AA studies?

wow ofc you'd implement a thing and then not hire a coordinator -_-

DOES FORCED DISAPPEARANCE MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS???

"explicitly deemed illegal" !!!!
