Activist scholarship seeks to combine rigorous research and political commitment to achieve empirical and theoretical understanding of social processes. While open access to information has democratized knowledge production, academic work is still necessary to ask the questions and find the answers to address social injustice and inequality. In this course, we explore the methods and results of more than two decades of activist research.

ANTH108 . 2 Months Ago

She is the best professor that I took in UCSB. Her class always fills up quickly. If you did not miss too many weekly reports and show up to the class for the whole section, you will get an A. P.S: She will remember your name if you took her many times.

ANTH113 . Saldivar Tana 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

Professor Saldivar is a very wise woman. While I did find myself getting bored often (she would have students come up and present for over half the almost 3-hour class), when she did get up and speak, she had very quality input. Assignments were easy, you just had to DO them and the readings. Easy work, but attendance was mandatory!
