      "description": "This course explores the principles, methods, and practices that inform the field of Ethnic Studies. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this course will show how Ethnic Studies emerged as a social, political, and academic movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Students will learn about the major concepts in the study of racial and ethnic relationships in the United States, centering Native American, African American, Asian American, and Latin American experiences. This course compares and relates the histories, struggles, resistances, and contributions of these four groups. Major emphasis is on understanding how racial and ethnic power dynamics contribute to social inequities and how communities draw from solidarity, self-determination, liberation, decolonization, and anti-racism struggles to fight for power and representation.",

      "description": "This course provides an overview of the history, culture and governance of the Tule River Indian Tribe. Starting with the pre-contact history of the Yokuts peoples of central California, the course will then explore the early contact period, the establishment of the Tule River Reservation and its social, cultural, and political evolution to the present. With direct participation of knowledgeable individuals from the Tule River Reservation, the goal of this class is for both tribal members and the broader student population to learn about and value the role played by local indigenous groups in the history of the region. Furthermore, the course will explore the contemporary situation of the Tule River Reservation and its members, providing students with an opportunity to directly learn from tribal members and to participate in community service projects at the Reservation. The course engages students in critical exploration of the following topics: land dispossession, settler colonialism, resistance, tribal sovereignty, cultural and linguistic preservation, decolonization, solidarity, liberation, inequality, social and economic justice, and other related topics.",
