2321 Introduction to Asian American Studies
Perry Miller 11701 University Hall 43 MWF 3:00-3:55
This course is an introduction to Asian American Studies, which along with other multidisciplinary fields in US Ethnic Studies emerged from a complex genealogy of social transformation, including the famous era of 1960s student-worker-public activism. Through this course, we will undertake a comparative survey of the arts and advocacy associated with—and generative of—Asian America. Guiding themes include the following:
1) How macro-level forces of empire and capital have shaped Asian American experiences,
2) How cultural institutions shape Asian American ways of being and signifying, and
3) How Asian American thought, arts, and advocacy function as modes of recuperation, resistance, and transformation.
Multiple groups and migration waves across Asia and the Pacific comprise the Asian American panethnic rubric. This course surveys parallel social, political, and economic forces which shaped Asian Americans alongside other cultural groupings. Topics for exploration include formative and contemporary contexts of migration, citizenship, and exclusion; the relationship of identity and cultural formation to such macro-level forces as war, empire, and global capitalism; the political and material function of model minoritization, and the various effects of other difference-identity markers.
Through a juxtaposition of literary and artistic texts with their social contexts, we will examine Asian American cultural production with multiple analytic tools to approach a broader understanding of power's intersection with knowledge production and subject formation.
Texts under consideration: Screaming Monkeys (ed. Galang 2003), Akhtar's American Dervish, Kingston's Woman Warrior, Phan's We Should Never Meet, Tomine'sShortcomings
Requirements: Attendance & Participation, Reader Response Journal, 2 short papers, Midterm, Final Project
Comparative Studies 2321 is a GE Arts and Humanities course and serves as an introductory course for the Comparative Ethnic and American Studies concentration within Comparative Studies.

4580 Special Topics in LGBTQ Literatures and Cultures, "LGBTQ Transnationalisms"
Jian Chen Denney Hall 250 TR 3:55 - 5:15
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual and gender non-conforming people, identities, and cultures have been represented in contradictory ways in relationship to modernization and globalization. Using a comparative approach, this course will explore the new visibility of LGBT and sexual and gender non-conforming social movements, identities, and cultures in cities, nations, and regions that have become networked economically, politically, and culturally. Moving between political, historical, and cultural literature, film, and media, the course will focus possibly on LGBT and sexual and gender non-conforming visibilities in the U.S., Thailand, South Africa, Taiwan, Uganda, China, and Chile. The course will also look to local, diasporic, and regional queer and transgender critical approaches for potential interventions and subversions in dominant networks of visibility.
Course requirements may include an in-class presentation, regular participation in a course blog, exploratory midterm paper, and final paper project.
The course will fulfill requirements in the English major, Sexuality Studies major, and Asian American Studies minor.
