These include Asian Americans and the U.S. and Global South, genealogies of violence, recent trends in Asian American and diasporic popular culture, climate change, and critical refugee studies. By examining a range of genres and critical methods, this course will advance understanding of how Asian America has shaped the making of American culture and history.
