    Description
    This course offers an interdisciplinary and comparative examination of the historical and contemporary experiences of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders within the contexts of colonialism, imperialism, racialization, and migration. Students will analyze systems of oppression and resistance through intersectional frameworks, engage with cultural productions, community histories, and social movements, and apply Ethnic Studies methodologies to envision decolonization, justice, and collective liberation. Special emphasis is placed on critical race theory, agency, solidarity, and the ongoing struggles for equity and sovereignty within and beyond Asian American and Pacific Islanders communities.
