RIP, Dr. Takaki

“We’re going to strengthen our critical thinking and our writing skills. These can be revolutionary tools if we make them so.”

You’ll be missed, Dr. Takaki. By all of us who embraced your approach to understanding the country in which we live and honoring its rich history, and who pushed ourselves and our students to be and do more than was believed possible. From all of us who came here from different shores and in different ways, thank you. For your contributions to sociology and oral history, to higher education and greater cross-cultural understanding.

Namaste.

RIP, Dr. Takaki
