I facilitated a focus group of graduating Master’s students and an online survey open to all alumni, and translated the data into recommendations. I used Indigenous MMR, combining quantitative data, thematic analysis, & relational epistemology. I recommend the creation of a decentralized alumni organization, drawing from other postcolonial-education-focused alumni orgs.
“The Vote Was...Strike!” Humboldt State University Anti-war Activism During The Vietnam War
- Amanda AlsterAnthropologyUndergraduate Student
Humboldt State University Library houses a collection of posters and documents preserving anti-war ephemera and primary sources from the HSU Strike for Peace protest, which took place May 11-15, 1970. This student-organized protest was one of the largest demonstration in Humboldt County’s history to date; it drew support from almost 3,000 students, faculty, and Humboldt community members. The protest stemmed from President Richard Nixon's support of expanding the war into Cambodia, after he had promised the general public to begin the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam.
