We look at different educational projects, such as Indian boarding Schools, English-only laws, the "indirect rule" of the British colonies. We address the not-always-clear line between education as a form of social control or as a form of liberation.

ANTH108 . 2 Years Ago

Class I took isn't listed (Activist Anthropology) beware: For SJW's only. Entire class is based off of strong subjective opinions. Take the course if you'd like to visit crazy town.

ANTH108 . 3 Years Ago

I believe this was Professor Saldivar's first quarter at UCSB but she was great! The grade was based on weekly journals (300 words) based on the weekly readings, a final essay (out of class), and a presentation on one of the readings. She's an easy grader and cares a lot about the topics she teaches. She loves having conversations with students.

ANTH129 . 3 Months Ago

this was the easiest class i have ever taken!! you learn so many interesting things and also get to interact/ meet so many new people since she pushes you to talk to someone new every week. everything was so straightforward and she is a very nice grader!

ANTH113 . 3 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!
