SOCI 215 - Contemporary Asian American Experience

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3SS, CD

The goal of the course is to introduce you to a range of contemporary issues dealing with Asian Americans and immigrants generally. The focus is less on each ethnic group?s differences and more on the trends that many groups face, with a focus on how they experience challenges and claim accomplishments. The course stresses the light that studying Asian Americans sheds on other groups and for the country as a whole, including immigration, identity, religion, family, gender, race relations, and other topics. We will read from a variety of disciplines, with stress on sociology. Enrollment Limit: 35.
