Ethnic Studies 318 : Asian American Survey
Days and Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1:30 to 2:45pm
Instructor: Monisha DasGupta
Who are Asian Americans and how can we go about understanding their experiences in the United States? This course provides an overview of Asian American history, experiences and identities. We are centrally concerned with two sets of questions.
• How does centering Asian America transform our understanding of U.S. history, society and culture?
• How does Asian America look when we take into account differences in ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and generation among Asian Americans?
By exploring the structures that shape Asian American experiences and Asian American challenges to those forces, the course asks students to consider their own role in transforming the state of Asian America.
