| ASIANAM 52 | ASAM COMMUNITIES | VO, L. | Asian American Communities will introduce students to a range of social, cultural, economic, and political discourses concerning the formation and construction of Asian American communities. We will study the historical and contemporary developments of ethnic communities as geographical sites as well as analyze emerging communities as non-territorial social networks. We will discuss how these communities negotiate the spatial and social terrains of generational, ethnic, gender, sexual, class, religious, and ideological differences. Our discussions will examine theories about voluntary and involuntary communities, ethnic enclaves, ethnic economies, and race relations. Integral to this discussion will be issues of nationalism, colonialism, globalization, immigration, citizenship, politics, education, and representation and how these issues frame the debates of inclusion and exclusion. |

| ASIANAM 200A | THEORY & METHODS IN ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES | VO, L. | This course examines the interrelations between history, theory, and race in the aftermath of the twentieth-century de-colonial movements, offering an account of race through post-colonial and post-nationalist approaches in comparative, multiregional contexts. In this respect, we will examine the methodological and theoretical developments of Asian American Studies from an interdisciplinary perspective and critique its interconnections and intersectionality with other disciplines. We will evaluate empirical and theoretical approaches to the study of displacements and migrations, spatial and economic formations, political flows and realignments, and cultural productions as well as the contemporary interventions and contestations within the field. |
