It’s a chilly evening in early April. Bundled up in sweaters and sweatshirts, 15 Boston University undergrads sit in a circle on blankets on the grassy BU Beach. Swati Rani’s class, Asians Are People of Color, Race Relations and Writing,
is meeting in person for only the second time this semester.
Kevin Nguyen (CAS’24) explains how Rani has turned their class into a community, despite the pandemic and social distancing. “Having a teacher that’s a little loud and energetic puts that energy into us as well,” he says, glancing at Rani as his classmates nod in agreement.
