This seminar provides undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to learn about racial and intersectional justice-based research methodology. By working in groups, students will partner with community organizations to co-create solutions to problems of health inequities. Grassroots organizations inform the student research projects. The student projects center on people of color, immigrant, and/or working-class communities, with a particular focus on the local context.

CollegeI learned a lot from this class but I need to emphasize that it is not easy to get an A in, look at the DailyNexus grade search. I really recommend taking this class Pass/No Pass because the two exams where you write 3 short essays make up 80% of your grade and it is very difficult to get an A in especially since the TA's 20% is difficulttopredict.
Professor Fujino is very passionate about what she teaches and is amazing at teaching. I think the only thing I disliked was how exam heavy this class was, 80% of your grade is just exams and I just felt like that's poorly structured. Needless to say my TA Colin Sibley was amazing too and thanks to him I actually passed this class.
prof fujino is passionate and an expert in her field, i totally enjoyed the class but the midterm/final grading was unnecessarily tough and expects more than what the question asks (like you can read the TAs minds). generous reading amount and lectures are important. colin sibley was a great TA though! wish i took it pass/fail for GE
Professor Fujino gave very engaging and well-rounded lectures, always incorporated the overall themes into material. The exams were a bit complex and very detail-oriented, more than I had anticipated for a GE class. Readings are highly emphasized.
This professor and her materials are just OK and the grading easily makes AS AM 9 a class you DON'T wanna take. Everybody got a C to B-. Efforts were ridiculously ignored. Tons of reading every week. You have to discuss and present in section to actually get POINTs. Short essays for midterm and final compose 80% of the grade. Just DON'T.
Professor Fujino has to be one of my favorite professors. She is very passionate. Her lectures are full of information and she keeps it interesting. The class covers important material, but for the final and midterm she looks for specific details in the essays, so make sure you learn specifics.
