This module was meant to introduce you to how Ethnic Studies became an academic discipline. The weekly materials demonstrate Ethnic Studies’ relationship to the social movements of the 1960s and how education was at the heart of movements for freedom. After reflecting on the materials in the module and the lecture, answer the following prompt:
Ethnic Studies is a required course, which is probably why you’re enrolled today. But is it still relevant? Are the student organizers of the 60’s views and demands on education still relevant, or are they outdated? Refer to El Plan de Santa Barbara and/or the Student demands. How might Ethnic Studies be related to what’s going on in the world today?
