Asian Americas
Asian Americas In this course we will investigate cultural transformations, cultural politics, and the cultural productions of and about Asian Americans. The themes of immigration, nation, and citizenship are central to the construction of the U.S. racial category of Asian. Those addressed within the category are highly diverse and differentiated along class, gender, and generational lines, yet the racial category structures particular kinds of experiences and possibilities for subjects. Historical transformations and contemporary issues in a variety of Asian American contexts will be investigated through a variety of texts including historical accounts, cultural studies, anthropological studies, autobiography, and fiction.

This course was pretty easy. There were a couple of books or extra readings but she went over all of it in class. There was one presentation and one written response in class, the rest was group work or small posts on Canvas that were a paragraph long.
Professor Joo is extremely passionate about the history behind Asian's in America. This course dives into many different ethnicities and the major history behind Asian Americans. The course is extremely relaxed, but the readings are extremely interesting especially if you have a certain interest in a period of time.
Professor Joo is a very relaxed teacher, this is a nice class if you need to fill credits/are interested in the subject, exams are very chill and so are the presentations. I definitely recommend this class.
Professor Joo is super passionate about this class. The readings were not too difficult and the class was easy to follow along. Would highly recommend taking this class as it is not too challenging but still has work.
