Asian American Studies
Participating Faculty: Shirley Tang
The Department for Asian American Studies is redesigning AsAmSt 225L Southeast Asians in the US to cater to a new generation of US born students who do not know as much first-hand knowledge about Asian immigration as those did in the 1980’s when the course was implemented. The department is also creating a followup course to AsAmSt 370 Asian American Media Literacy in a more advanced and in-depth look as AsAmSt 470 Asian American Film & Digital Media and Social Documentation.
