Ethnic Studies has Always Been Innovative!
February 23, 2024
I am pleased to share a wonderful article in Berkeley News, written by the ever-talented Ivan Natividad. The article focuses on Berkeley’s history of innovation, and Ivan offers a powerful rendering of the origins of Ethnic Studies as transformative innovation! The article features wonderful insights from Harvey Dong, Clementina Duron, Vicci Wong, and Waldo Martin. Innovation, we learn, is not only about entrepreneurship and new products–it’s also about creating new ways to teach and learn history, to engage with community, to practice pedagogies of liberation.
How gratifying to be recognized as the innovators we’ve always been. Thanks, Ivan!
