Course Catalog Description:: This course is intended to give students a general introduction to participatory learning through engagement with Asian American community organizations and/or leaders. The course is based within Asian American studies, an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that examines how histories of immigration, exclusion, racialization, and citizenship have shaped Asian American communities and identities. In turn, Asian American studies asks how Asian Americans, configured as immigrants, refugees, "forever foreigners," and "model minorities," impact how American nation, empire, rights, and belonging are constructed. Working with community partners, students will have the opportunity to learn several different community-based research skills: newspaper article search, archival research and/or archival organization, interviewing skills, and audio/video production. Students also have the option to complete service learning with an organization throughout the semester; with this option, students will write a short reflection statement on their service learning as their final project. prereq: AAS and CRES minors must register A-F.
