授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This course looks at Asian Americans and their experiences in the USA beyond the image of the economically successful "model minority".
Focusing on the two oldest Asian minority groups, Japanese and Chinese Americans, but paying attention also to the many other groups included in the category “Asian Americans,” students will study the history of Asian immigration to the United States and trace the process and extent of integration of Asian Americans into mainstream society by exploring a range of topics, including the history of immigration and exclusion, the “model minority” thesis, discrimination at work and in education, media images, gender and sexuality, hate crime and violence, relations with other minority groups, and social activism. Through these topics, students will consider critically the meaning of assimilation, citizenship, and “American” as an identity and a classificatory category.
到達目標Goal
Students will learn the multifaceted history and current situations of Asian Americans, and as a result acquire a deeper and more nuanced understanding of American society. Students can expect to develop skills of written communication and reading comprehension through engaging in critical thinking, analysis, writing, and discussion in this course.

学生の意見等からの気づきChanges following student comments
Students evaluated the course very positively. Reflecting on the course, the instructor realized that it's necessary to have stricter control over the length of the presentation and leave more time for discussion afterwards, and will endeavor to do so this year.
Prerequisite
The usual prerequisite is any 100-level or 200-level sociology course. This prerequisite may be waived if a student has the equivalent academic background. All students who intend to take this course must attend the first class.
