I found this exhibit very interesting. I think the focus on student movement shows the power of all voices in our community.

It is through activism that students can reclaim justice and exercise their rights. Apathy is encouraged too often in our society, which makes us feel so small and insignificant. Let's win back our campus.

I was here in 2010 and I want students now and in the future to know the power of the student response to some horrific attempts to create real fear. Students continue to lead for powerful changes.

In the social science DEI courses, how do instructors balance the ethical imperative to promote a valuation of DEI while, at the same time, promoting disciplinary values of descriptivism (i.e. social science as [underlined] science, not as policy per se)?

Post-it Note Response

I am wondering if the stated, institutional purpose for DEI courses is to promote values affirmative of DEI through explicit affirmation of these values, or if the values are to be promoted implicitly -- by having students engage theoretically & analytically with displines concerned with concept such as race, gender, etc. Or both?

It is easy to confuse equality [underlined] with sameness [underlined]. Sameness argues that diversity doesn't matter. We are all the same, so loving each other is easy. But equality understands that diversity does matter. It makes loving each other hard because we are [underlined] different. But that love is more complete [underlined] because we see each other as we actually are.

As a former undergraduate student from UCSD, I've taken a DEI course personally and believed it was one of the most socially informative and shocking course I've taken. What I believe is a great idea for this class requirement is to have one class day dedicated to informing the student of UCSD's history in social activism and the resources students have on campus to learn more. This would definitely teach students history and event that occurred that they wouldn't have expected and make them more informed and aware.

A visual history of activism of UCSD is an excellent reminder of stories of resistance and struggle ( ) out on the campus. It strikes me as an effective way to imbue space with meaning and empower current students to build on the legacy of protest and action. I wonder how DEI training as well as other forms of institutionalized DEI awareness programs bleed into/transfer into the course material of other courses. E.g. does it encourage students/instructors to question exclusionary and colonialist fundamentals/histories of the disciplines?

I think the timeline is a great resource to refer back to for specific events in our campus' history. Some other things that have come up for me are also the archetectual [sic] character of our campus and the nature of the divided college system. Would love to see some information/citations for that.

Post-it Note Response

This gives me hope that our students will continue to act and be passionate about making change!

This display was…a thoughtful reminder of the fact that, as a grad student/TA/white male, I'm coming into [double underline] a particular place that is home to a great, shared history. I'm especially struck by the quote regarding the enduring [double underline] nature of history and our need to confront it in the blip about the establishment of the peace memorial. --> "continue to confront it as a community."
