Q: What would you like to say about this course to a student who is considering taking it in the future? 1 This is the most relevant course in acknowledging the damage of US policies in the Pacific, laying the foundation for further obligation to Pacific nations to address climate change and the military industrial complex. 2 If you're a pacific student--definitely take this course. It will teach you things about home. If you're curious about the Pacific, take this course and be blown away by the breadth and beauty of oceania and america's secret imperial project. 3 Please take this course! It is incredibly interesting, well taught, and absolutely necessary in characterizing/evaluating American politics and history as well as Pacific sovereignty. 4 Super nice instructors, I learned a lot about the Pacific Islands 5 You missed out no longer offered 6 TAKE THIS COURSE!!! there is so much to learn!!! encourage your friends to take it!!! everyone should know more about this!!

Q: Would you like to provide any other comments about this course? 1 I thoroughly enjoyed this course, the selection of reading materials, and the constant emphasis of centering indigenous voices. It brings to light the importance of furthering Pacific Studies in higher education, given the urgency of climate change and the histories of detrimental foreign policies in the Pacific. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this amazing first cohort of students to take this course. 2 AMAZING COURSE. CAN'T LOVE IT ENOUGH 3 Mahalo nui!! 4 Learned so much very stoked I took the class 5 thank you Caroline and Autumn!!
Instructor Added Questions Close-Ended Questions
No Data.
Open-Ended Questions (7 comments) Q: What was the most valuable element of the class for you? 1 The readings were the most valuable of this course because they laid the foundation of existing scholarship and allowed for us to extend that discussion rather than repeating the same talking points. 2 The most valuable element of this class was finally having a space in my 3-year Stanford education that centers the Pacific. The lack of any Pacific Studies classes at Stanford inhibited my initial passions coming to college. This class was one of the most profound classes in my education. I'm taking from this class a new career trajectory that opens the potential to do graduate work in the field of Pacific Studies. Caroline and Autumn treated the course area of empire in the pacific in a phenomenal fashion. As a pacific islander student, they opened my eyes to topics I hadn't been exposed to about my home. I really appreciated their expertise and shared work experience in the Pacific. It was inspiring and nourishing, to say the least. 3 Very eye-opening discussion of the widespread impacts of American imperialism in the Pacific 4 Being able to a have both a an information and discussion part is the correct way to teach about a topic like this and I found it indispensable. 5 Lectures and readings 6 Discussions 7 the people! the tangents! the guest speakers!

Q: What would you like to say about this course to a student who is considering taking it in the future? 1 This is the most relevant course in acknowledging the damage of US policies in the Pacific, laying the foundation for further obligation to Pacific nations to address climate change and the military industrial complex. 2 If you're a pacific student--definitely take this course. It will teach you things about home. If you're curious about the Pacific, take this course and be blown away by the breadth and beauty of oceania and america's secret imperial project. 3 Please take this course! It is incredibly interesting, well taught, and absolutely necessary in characterizing/evaluating American politics and history as well as Pacific sovereignty. 4 Super nice instructors, I learned a lot about the Pacific Islands 5 You missed out no longer offered 6 TAKE THIS COURSE!!! there is so much to learn!!! encourage your friends to take it!!! everyone should know more about this!!

Q: Would you like to provide any other comments about this course? 1 I thoroughly enjoyed this course, the selection of reading materials, and the constant emphasis of centering indigenous voices. It brings to light the importance of furthering Pacific Studies in higher education, given the urgency of climate change and the histories of detrimental foreign policies in the Pacific. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this amazing first cohort of students to take this course. 2 AMAZING COURSE. CAN'T LOVE IT ENOUGH 3 Mahalo nui!! 4 Learned so much very stoked I took the class 5 thank you Caroline and Autumn!!

Open-Ended Questions (7 comments) Q: What was the most valuable element of the class for you? 1 The readings were the most valuable of this course because they laid the foundation of existing scholarship and allowed for us to extend that discussion rather than repeating the same talking points. 2 The most valuable element of this class was finally having a space in my 3-year Stanford education that centers the Pacific. The lack of any Pacific Studies classes at Stanford inhibited my initial passions coming to college. This class was one of the most profound classes in my education. I'm taking from this class a new career trajectory that opens the potential to do graduate work in the field of Pacific Studies. Caroline and Autumn treated the course area of empire in the pacific in a phenomenal fashion. As a pacific islander student, they opened my eyes to topics I hadn't been exposed to about my home. I really appreciated their expertise and shared work experience in the Pacific. It was inspiring and nourishing, to say the least. 3 Very eye-opening discussion of the widespread impacts of American imperialism in the Pacific 4 Being able to a have both a an information and discussion part is the correct way to teach about a topic like this and I found it indispensable. 5 Lectures and readings 6 Discussions 7 the people! the tangents! the guest speakers!
