Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Communicology, clip 8 of 15

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: Being able to listen to what we were taught in that class helped me be more cognizant about the communities here in Hawaiʻi... where a lot of us are [from a] collectivist culture... Growing up in American society, [which is] very Western, I'm individualistic, whereas my family, who come from the Philippines, are very collectivist. And that dynamic, through this class, has helped me kind of figure out how... to become more bicultural and culturally competent.
