Exploratory Research Report
The UC Berkeley High School Ethnic Studies Exploratory Report examines the potential of a UC Berkeley curriculum development effort in supporting Bay Area high school teachers and school districts, and therefore future generations of California students. Although the report is exploratory and not exhaustive, it does offer strategic reasons for UC Berkeley's involvement in the California High School Ethnic Studies graduation requirement and recommendations for how, where, and when to interact.
Ethnic Studies Educator Resource Hub
The UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies Educator Resource Hub is a curated collection of materials designed to support students and instructors in preparation for the rollout of California’s high school Ethnic Studies graduation requirement. Our hub aims to foster a deep understanding of oppression, liberation, and the intricate tapestry of social movements that shape society. Whether you’re seeking to enrich your teaching practices, expand your knowledge base, or engage in community-driven initiatives, this resource hub creates entry points to teaching and engaging with Ethnic Studies.
Events & Resources
The High School Ethnic Studies Initiative hosts various events for students and instructors that focus on approaches to teaching Ethnic Studies high school courses. Please review our our event and resource pages that contain event recordings, recommended resources, and key takeaways!
Third World Liberation Front site
The UC Berkeley's Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) site was developed in partnership with key campus partners, TWLF strikers from 1969, 1989 and 1999, dedicated to the legacy of the TWLF movements and their contemporary connections. Please visit the site for a wide range of teaching materials, events, and timelines.
Race: The Power of an Illusion site
An online companion to the award-winning documentary series by California Newsreel explores the origins, beliefs, and consequences of what we call race. Developed in collaboration with key UC Berkeley partners and the California Newsreel team, the site offers teaching tools, interviews, and fresh perspectives on this groundbreaking film—designed especially for educators.
Oral Histories Guides
Oral history is a field of study and a method of gathering, preserving, and interpreting the voices and memories of people, communities, and participants in past events. As a method, it involves an interview that is recorded and made available to the public. Oral histories become primary sources that supplement and enrich our collective understanding of places, communities, and events in the past.
