This page has resources and lesson plans focused on Asian American Studies.
This course introduces students to the diverse histories and cultures of the Asian diaspora abroad and in the United States. We will use primary and secondary source materials to explore various aspects of Asian American Studies including terminology, historical context (influential events and people), geographical and environmental context, cultural context (social organization, language and communication, education, literature and the arts, religion and spirituality, traditions, beliefs and core values, food, etc.), migration, conflict, and identity.
The Asian American Studies Curriculum Framework from the Asian American Research Initiative specifies historical and cultural points of information related to the diverse communities and cultures of the Asian diaspora.
