Campus Reform: Berkeley students teach peers about 'whiteness,' 'decolonizing' - Gone from inmates running the asylum to least qualified inmates running the asylum? --tma





University of California, Berkeley students are facilitating their own courses this fall on topics such as "Deconstructing Whiteness," "Palestine: A Settler-Colonial Analysis," and "Decolonizing Methods in Academic Research."

The classes are all offered through UC Berkeley's "DeCal" program, which allows students to devise and facilitate their own courses that are offered for academic credit once approved by a faculty member and department chair.
