Asian American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the historical, cultural, social, and political experiences of Asian Americans in the United States. This course examines the migration patterns, radicialization, identity formation, activism, and contributions of diverse Asian American communities. Topics may include immigration policies, labor histories, transnationalism, media representation, intersectionality, and contemporary issues such as discrimination and social justice movements. Through readings, discussions, and research, students will critically analyze the evolving narratives and complexities of Asian American identities in relation to broader U.S. society.
To receive credit for this class, you must complete all assigned readings, turn in all notes, complete short and medium sized essays, including research work and possibly a research paper or larger writing assignment.
