Historical and Social Sciences Analysis Skills:
Historical Research, Evidence, and Point of View

Ethnic Studies courses, teaching, and learning will:
- Critique empire and its relationship to white supremacy, racism, patriarchy, and cisheteropatriarchy.
- Challenge imperialist/colonial hegemonic beliefs and practices on the ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized levels.
- Connect ourselves to past and contemporary resistance movements that struggle for social justice on the global and local levels.
- Conceptualize, imagine, and build new possibilities for post-imperial life that promotes collective narratives of transformative resistance, critical hope, and radical healing.
