About me...
Hello,
My name is Raju Kahaku Singh DeSai. I am a scholar, activist, student, teacher, artist, and community member. I am a native of San Francisco, CA, but have ethnic and cultural ties to India, the Philippines, and Hawaii. I have been teaching ethnic studies in San Francisco at both the high school and college level for over five years. In August, I will be entering a PhD program in Education at the University of Hawai`i - Manoa focusing on Curriculum and Instruction.
My research interests include: Filipina/o American/Philippine Studies, Critical Mixed Race Studies, Ethnic Studies, Critical Pedagogy, Indigenous Studies, Decolonization Studies, and Philippine Language. I hope to complete my PhD and teach at an institution that allows me to conduct research and teach courses that are aligned with my interests. I also hope to continue to work with youth-primarily working class, youth of color, to help them realize their own power to be active agents in their educational process as well as for their communities.
