    Description
    This honors course examines the foundations of Ethnic Studies as both a field and a movement for racial and social justice. Centering Native American, African American, Asian American, and Chicane/Latine communities, students explore race, racism, decolonization, sovereignty, and liberation through critical frameworks rooted in these communities. Emphasis is placed on storytelling, activism, and community knowledge as strategies of resistance and self-determination. The course analyzes how race intersects with gender, class, and immigration status, and engages students in anti-racist and anti-colonial practices through reflective and community-based learning.
