In The Ocean in the School Rick Bonus tells the stories of Pacific
Islander students as they and their allies struggled to transform a
university they believed did not value their presence. Drawing on
dozens of interviews with students he taught, advised, and mentored
between 2004 and 2018 at the University of Washington, Bonus
outlines how, despite the university's promotion of diversity and
student success programs, these students often did not find their
education to be meaningful, leading some to leave the university.
As these students note, they weren't failing school; the school was
failing them. Bonus shows how students employed the ocean as a
metaphor as a way to foster community and to transform the
university into a space that valued meaningfulness, respect, and
critical thinking. In sharing these students' insights and
experiences, Bonus opens up questions about measuring student
success, the centrality of antiracism and social justice to
structurally reshaping universities, and the purpose of higher
education.
