COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This syllabus incorporates the Course Description and other details contained in
the syllabus dated August, 2015. A copy of this prior syllabus is available online through my class Weebly site.
Semester 2: Ethnic Studies
Ethnic Studies is the critical and interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and
indigeneity with a focus on the experiences and perspectives of people of
color within and beyond the United States. Since the emergence of ethnic
studies as an academic field in the late 1960s, scholars have analyzed the ways
in which race and racism have been, and continue to be, powerful social,
cultural, and political forces and their connections to other axes of stratification,
including gender, class, sexuality, and legal status.
Course benchmarks for the State of Hawaii for this course are provided by
Common Core State Standards (CCSS), English Language Arts (ELA).

The policies first referenced in August, 2015, and incorporated herein by
reference, are subject to amendment by JCHS administration, Grade level
counselors, Social Studies department, or Mr. Tanabe as may be required during
the term.
