This interview with Aishwarya Gowda, Aishu for short, examines community activism on campus at Chico State University. More specifically, this interview delves into how Aishu uses her position as the Director of Social Justice and Equity for the Associated Students’ Government Affairs for promoting and advocating for justice. Additionally, she discusses her background and how that plays an important role in who she is today, as well as how she advocates for change. Starting with brief background questions we got a better understanding of who Aishu is, what is most important to her, and her values in life. For example, she discussed
growing up with a single mother who instilled her with the mindset of fighting for what you believe in and standing up for yourself rather than running away from conflict. This impacted how she advocates for herself and others. Delving into more specific questions about social change and her role on campus, we gained more perspective on how she uses her role to promote change. She wants to use her role to influence others to not be afraid to express their culture. Growing up struggling with speaking English and seeing first hand the discrimination not only international students faced, but other students as well, she wanted to make a change and fight for justice. During this interview we were able to gain a better understanding of what it means to be an activist as well as specifically what Aishu does to promote social change at Chico State. - Transcript (Bibliographic Ontology)
