5.00 Credits
This course introduces some of the major themes in Asian American history. This exploration into Asian American history reveals as much about American society, politics, and culture as it does about Asian Americans themselves. Throughout the quarter, we will examine an array of interrelated themes and topics including transnationalism, immigration law, citizenship, miscegenation, imperialism, popular culture, and racism. Nevertheless, there are three narratives that we will emphasize: 1) examining the struggles over the cultural, political, and economic meanings of race, ethnicity, and gender, 2) tracing how major economic transitions impacted and transformed Asian American lives, 3) exploring the expansion and deployment of American power at home and abroad and its relationship to Asian America.

5.00 Credits
This course examines the connections between two historical developments often treated separately: the US civil rights struggle and African anti-colonial movements. By placing these two movements in a transnational framework, the course explores the global challenge to the racialized world order of the 19th and early 20th century. How did civil rights struggle gain momentum in the aftermath of World War II? What was the longer history and role of "Black Nationalism" and Pan-Africanism in the transnational struggle? What were the connections between the civil rights movement and contemporary independence movements in Africa and Asia? One of the central goals of the course is to show how we can expand our understanding of US history by reaching beyond the interaction between the US government and other nationstates to examine political and cultural change. Cross-listed with HIST 153.

This course will examine the relationships between racial formation, gender, and class within the context of environmental problems and the distribution of resources. The course will also consider activities that may lead to a more equitable distribution of the costs and benefits of economic development, more sustainable forms of production, and economic dynamics that influence public health discrepancies by gender and race. While this course focuses on communities of color in the U.S., it also addresses binational and global instances of environmental injustice.

5.00 Credits
In this course, students will learn how to write, film, direct, and edit their own 10 minute documentaries that are committed to social justice and change. In addition to producing our own films, we will explore how documentary filmmakers use film as a medium to heighten the consciousness of their audience, combat negative stereotypes, give voice to marginalized or underrepresented groups, and raise social awareness about issues affecting diverse communities. We will examine the intersection of gender, race, class, spirituality, and sexuality in film, noting how these dynamics function to enlighten our global community. Writers in this course will be moved from idea to script and, ultimately, film. No prior experience required.
