Week 11: Final Reflection

This quarter has been an unexpected opportunity to learn some of the most impactful concepts of my entire time at Davis. As a graduating senior, I hardly expected to learn so much new information let alone on fashion and sustainability and the relation to asian or asian american identity.  Taking this class has been one of the highlights of the year for me, and Professor Valverde brings a spark to the class that is uniquely entertaining and informed. I appreciate being pushed out of my comfort zone away from my strength in academic writing and towards a more expressive project with the exhibit. I had both a lot of un as well as an incredibly tough challenge in working with my team throughout the class to brainstorm what we could present on the theme of waste and wonder.

Overall, I think I am going to seriously consider the impact of all material/consumer goods form this point on, and will continue to use my education to research the impact of even innocuous seeming industries on the global scale of inequity.
