[Ssnet_list] Interesting class offered

[Shana Hirsch via Ssnet_list]

Trying to spread the word about this UW Winter quarter class that might be
of interest to STS folks:


Pacific Indigenous Astrophysics (ASTR 190/597) explores how Indigenous
peoples of the Pacific navigated thousands of miles of open ocean guided by
stars, wind, swells, and marine life. Students learn about the cosmos
through both Indigenous and Western lenses while examining the cultural
impact of reclaiming traditional practices. The course interweaves
Indigenous wisdom with modern astrophysics concepts.



It's taught by Dr. Brittany Kamai, an Affiliate member of the Faculty at
UW, an expert in the unique combination of both gravitational wave
astrophysics and traditional Pacific Islander voyaging. The course is
interactive and project-based, and has been one of our most popular
offerings in the last two years we’ve offered it.
