Ethnic Studies (ETHNSTD)

2652 | Asian American Feminisms

Professor Corinne Sugino

Course #35193, TR, 9:35-10:55AM, Hagerty Hall 046

This course focuses on the historic and contemporary development of Asian American feminisms. Students will consider how Asian Americans are impacted by systems of race, gender, and sexuality, as well as how Asian American feminists have used their voices, activism, and art to produce more justice-oriented communities. The course will also discuss how figures such as the “tiger mother,” “model minority” or “forever foreigner” intersect with issues of gender and sexual difference, as well as the ways that Asian American feminists have worked to challenge or reimagine them. In doing so, students will be exposed to various perspectives on Asian American feminisms across academic research, popular media, film, and art, while developing their own analytical research and writing skills.
