El Plan de Santa Barbara, El Centro Arnulfo Casillas, and UCSB Chicanx/Latinx Student Activism, 1960s-Present . CH ST 190
Examines the history of UCSB Chicanx/Latinx student activism on campus from the late 1960s until the present. Starting with the April 1969 El Plan de Santa Barbara conference, the class examines critical events such as the 1968 and 1975 North Hall protests, the 1989 and 1994 hunger strikes, and the student-led movement to save El Centro from demolition in the mid-2010s. Special focus is placed on conducting archival research on Chicanx/Latinx student activism and solidifying El Centro Arnulfo Casillas a sacred site/home for future generations of students, particularly those engaged in struggles to decolonize the university.

One of the best professors I've known at UCSB. I enjoyed the small class setting, easy to engage with one another and talk about our personal experiences as Chicanx students, readings were inspiring and resonating to understand. He puts a lot of thought into the material, talking about the importance and development of Chicano activism at UCSB. :)
Professor Armbruster is very well spoken and educated on what he teaches; it proves in his manner to lecture. Lots of reading to do if you want to do well on the assignments. Subjects he teaches are tough topics—bring a tissue.
The most wholesome person on the planet, love this king so much. 100% recommend!

Too much work for a GE tbh not worth. Def better ones out there if you want something lighter. So if you're scrolling through rate my professor finding an easy class that you don't have to pay attention to, this isn't the one. I recommend intro to Caribbean studies.
Professor Ralph is my favorite professor that I have had at UCSB so far, he is a very inspiring person and deeply cares for the students and the future. I would recommend 100% he changed the way I have looked at life
