Summer 2013 Courses
AAS F312 • Intro To Asian American History
83870 • Doane, Jennifer
Meets MTWTHF 1130am-100pm UTC 1.116
(also listed as HIS F317L)
Flag: Cultural Diversity in the U.S.
This class introduces key themes in Asian American history by exploring the crucial roles Asian have played in framing American ideas and institutions regarding citizenship, national belonging, border control, and multiracial democracy. Seen as inassimilable aliens and essentially foreign, Asians were the first targets of legal immigration restrictions and enforcement. Asian Americans persevered in continuing migration to establish communities and forge ethnic identities and cultures by claiming the promise of equality in America. We will consider variations on Asian American history and culture through memoirs, legal documents, cultural productions, media representations, and reinterpretations of mainstream tropes of American identity.
Fall 2013 Courses
AAS 310 • Alternative Family Systems
36305 • Doane, Jennifer
Meets TTH 1230pm-200pm CLA 0.106
(also listed as AMS 315, WGS 301)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Writing
Nostalgic images of the nuclear family in the United States present us with the picture of a father, mother, and biologically conceived son and daughter all living in a single family home. As a social institution, the family has experienced many changes in contemporary U.S. society. This course is designed as an introduction to alternative family systems in the United States contextualized in a Post-WWII framework. Asian Americans will serve as our central focus to survey the development of alternative families. The course addresses the historic, more traditional forms of Asian immigration and quickly moves into the ways globalization, transnationalism, imperialism/occupation, mixed race, modern reproductive technologies, and transracial adoptions complicate our understanding of the contemporary family. Examples include transnational Filipino families and caregivers, surrogate motherhood, and South Korean adoption beginning in the Cold War stretching to more contemporary practices in China. This course will incorporate interdisciplinary texts, media sources, and documentary films. A major topic of this course will be to analyze how issues of race and ethnicity inform identity. Additionally, we will explore the ways family formation is situated in history, politics, military engagements, and imperialism. Throughout the course we will also investigate how gender, kinship, and transnationalism intersect and shape our understanding of transracial and transnational families. Many people have different experiences with family formation and this course will examine them through an analytical and critical lens.Throughout the semester this course raises many questions. Examples include but are not limited to: What does it mean to be an immigrant? How are family structures complicated by larger global issues? How does transracial adoption change our understanding of what it means to be “American” or “Asian America?” This class provides a space to examine questions, interpret materials, exchange ideas, and gain an increased understanding of contemporary alternative family formation.
AAS 310 • Mixed Race And The Media
36310 • Cho, Alexander
Meets MWF 1000am-1100am PAR 302
(also listed as AMS 315)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Writing
What is “race,” and what does it mean to be “mixed”? How is mass media responsible for channeling fears, desires, and anxieties about “mixed” bodies? Why are “mixed race” bodies suddenly desirable and chic? Can one exist in two or more categories at the same time? How do people think of “mixedness” in the U.S., and how is it different in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Brazil? Why do people care so much? Why do categories matter? Isn’t everyone “mixed” somehow? Where do you fit in?
This course will give students the tools to critically respond to these questions via a comparative, historically situated study of the representation of “mixed-race” people in popular media. Major attention will be paid to special concerns for Asian American populations; it includes substantial attention to African American and Latino populations. Chiefly U.S.-centered, but with a large transnational comparative component analyzing “mixed” racial formation in: North America, Latin America, Caribbean, Brazil.
AAS 314 • Asian American Lit and Culture
36315 • Elis, C
Meets TTH 200pm-300pm BEN 1.104
(also listed as E314V (TOPIC 2)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Writing
The primary goal of this course is to explore how authors have imagined what it means to be “Asian American.” To that end, we will close-read a broad range of literary and cultural texts with an eye towards contextualizing then in their historical, social, and cultural milieus. The course is organized thematically, and within each unit, we will consider a diverse range of Asian immigrant histories. We will pay close attention to the formation of Asian American identities across axes of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship.
AAS 320 • Asian American Media Cultures
36325 • Mallapragada, M
Meets MWF 100pm-200pm CMA 3.120
(also listed as RTF 359)
Flag: Cultural Diversity in the US
This course will examine popular and critical roles, representations and politics of Asian Americans in U.S. media including Hollywood cinema, U.S. network television, Asian American independent film, and the World Wide Web. It will interrogate the racial and cultural politics of early Hollywood film stereotypes such as Dragon Lady, M. Butterfly, Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu; situate the role of media in shaping discourses of Orientalism, Yellow Peril and the “model minority” in mainstream America; engage with cutting-edge documentaries such as Who Killed Vincent Chin? from the independent Asian American media arts movement; examine the institutional and cultural politics of Margaret Cho’s short-lived but groundbreaking TV sitcom All-American Girl, and explore why Apu, a fictional character from The Simpsons remains the most popular representation of a South Asian American on US television!
By critically interrogating stereotypical representations of Asian American identities, culture, and politics, we will understand the complex history and culture that these stereotypes seek to displace. By engaging with independent Asian American media, we will locate their politics not merely as a response to mainstream media but a representation of a complex and vibrant Asian American sensibility, media aesthetic and community politics. In the process of doing so, we will explore how issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, nationalism, transnationalism and citizenship are central to understanding the politics of Asian Americans and U.S. media.
AAS 320 • Race, Immigration, And Culture
36330 • Paik, Naomi
Meets TTH 330pm-500pm CLA 0.108
(also listed as AMS 370, MAS 374)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the US and Writing
This interdisciplinary course explores the histories, cultures, and experiences of im/migration to the U.S. by examining cultural productions (literary and visual narratives and texts) alongside legal discourses (legislation, federal court cases, legal scholarship) and historical analyses. Informed by critical race theory, ethnic studies, and cultural studies scholarship, we will pay particular attention to the tensions between the legal discourses and practices that seek to regulate and manage im/migrants and the cultural productions that expose and articulate the limits and contradictions of the law. Some questions we will consider through the semester include: What are defining encounters that have shaped im/migrant lives and cultures? How do cultural studies inform our understanding of what it means to be an im/migrant under U.S. law? How have im/migrants challenged notions of U.S. nationhood and legal regimes?
We will begin by considering what is at stake in looking at cultural and legal texts together within a comparative ethnic studies frame. The course then examines the closing and opening of U.S. borders to regulate the entry of im/migrants, giving particular attention to the case of Chinese Exclusion—the first racially/ethnically based prohibition on immigration. We will also pay close attention to the relations between capitalism/labor and nation. The course concludes by considering questions of naturalization and the limits of citizenship, particularly in light of recent “crises” over immigration.
AAS 325 • Asian Amers/Amer Empire/Migrat
36340 • Steinbock-Pratt, Sarah
Meets MWF 200pm-300pm PAR 303
(also listed as HIS 365G)
Flag: Cultural Diversity in the U.S.
This course will examine the history of American empire, and the migrations and immigrations produced by that history, from a comparative and transnational perspective. The course will pay particular attention to the expansion of American influence in Asia, as well as Asian migration to and from the United States, and the issues of race, gender, class and national identity that arose as a result of those movements. We will also examine how the history of empire have changed and challenged notions of citizenship and belonging, often expressed in racialized and gendered terms.
AAS 325 • South Asian Migration To US
36345 • Bhalodia, Aarti
Meets MWF 1100am-1200pm PAR 206
(also listed as ANS 372, HIS 365G, WGS 340)
Flag: Cultural Diversity in the U.S.
This course examines the South Asian diaspora in United States. We will focus on Americans who trace their descent to India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. While studying the history and culture of South Asian America, we will discuss globalization, transnationalism, migration, assimilation, formation of a diaspora, discrimination, and gender and sexuality, all major themes in Asian American Studies. The course is arranged chronologically and thematically. We will start in the early twentieth century following the journey of the first South Asian migrants to arrive in California. The second part of the course will focus on the effects of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act. Topics covered include economic and social reasons for immigration, adaptation to American life, cultural and religious assimilation, changing family structures, and discrimination and exclusion. We will end the semester by discussing South Asian American life in the twenty-first century.
AAS 325 • Chinese In The United States
36350 • Hsu, Madeline Y.
Meets TTH 200pm-330pm GAR 1.126
(also listed as HIS 340S)
Flag: Cultural Diversity in the U.S.
This class examines U.S. history from the perspective of Chinese who were the first targets of racially defined immigration restrictions. As such, Chinese have played key roles in the evolution of U.S. immigration restrictions, their enforcement, limits regarding citizenship; permanent residency, and the underlying racial ideologies and conceptions of national belonging. This course offers an overview of the history of Chinese in America with an emphasis on Chinese American identity and community formations under the shadow of the Yellow Peril. Using primary documents and secondary literature, we will examine structures of work, family, immigration law, racism, class, and gender in order to understand the changing roles and perceptions of Chinese Americans in the United States from 1847 to the present. Partially fulfills legislative requirement for American history.
AAS 330 • Urban Unrest
36360 • Tang, Eric
Meets MWF 1200pm-100pm BUR 224
(also listed as AFR 372F, AMS 321, ANT 324L, URB 354)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Writing
How and when do cities burn? The modern US city has seen its shareof urban unrest, typified by street protests (both organized and spontaneous), the destruction of private property, looting, and fires. Interpretations of urban unrest are varied: some describe it as aimless rioting, others as political insurrection. Most agree that the matter has something to do with the deepening of racism, poverty and violence. This course takes a closer look at the roots of urban unrest, exploring a range of origins: joblessness, state violence, white flight, the backlash against civil rights gains, new immigration and interracial strife. Urban unrest is often cast as an intractable struggle between black and white, yet this course examines the ways in which multiple racial groups have entered the fray. Beyond race and class, the course will also explore unrest as a mode of pushing the normative boundaries of gender and sexuality in public space. Course material will draw from film, literature, history, geography and anthropology.
AAS 330 • Racism And Antiracism
36365 • Tang, Eric
Meets MWF 900am-1000am JES A305A
(also listed as AFR 374D, ANT 324L)
Flags: Cultural Diversity in the U.S. and Writing
Racism preoccupies virtually every aspect of U.S. society: culture, law, politics, economies. Yet U.S.-based scholars have offered surprisingly few comprehensive theories or definitions of what, exactly, racism entails and where it comes from. This course examines the few theories/definitions of racism across several fields: anthropology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, gender/sexuality studies. During the second half of the course, we turn our attention to anti-racist activism, particularly within people of color and immigrant communities. How have these anti-racist efforts measured up to existing scholarly theories of racism? Or do they instead produce new theories and definitions of their own?
Position Summary: Xavier University is in the midst of formalizing a new strategic plan. At the heart of the plan is an increased focus on student learning and achievement. Key outcomes of that focus are graduating students who have explored and can articulate their own identities, are prepared to engage difference to inform and form their own values and who are prepared to lead in an increasingly interconnected and complex world. The Center for Gender and Diversity will play a key role in helping students meet this desired outcome.

Hello!
My name is David Zelaya and I am doctoral student at Lehigh University.

Hello! I was hoping that you would not mind distributing the call for research participants below. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
My name is Stephanie Budge and I am currently working on a research project to study how therapy works for people who identify as trans*[1] or transgender. Participation in this study consists of taking part in online surveys that ask questions about identity (for example, gender labels), how therapy is going, and how you have been feeling lately. Participation in this study also involves filling out a demographic questionnaire. To qualify for the study, participants must be age 18 or over, identify as trans*, transgender, or have gone through a gender transition. In addition, participants must plan to start therapy within two months of enrolling in the study and plan to continue being in therapy for at least 16 weeks. Interested participants who do not meet these criteria (who are already involved in therapy, for example) are not eligible to participate. This study has been approved by the University of Louisville IRB.
Trans* or transgender participants will be asked to jointly participate in this study with their therapists. This process will be explained in detail to all who are interested in participating. All interested participants will be given a chance to ask questions about the study, are not obligated to participate in the study, and can discontinue participation at any point in the study with no penalty or loss of benefits to which they are entitled. All study participants and their therapists will be provided with monetary compensation for their time involved in study participation.
The information collected may or may not benefit you directly; however, you will have the opportunity to talk about your experience in therapy and how you feel it impacts your life. Some people may find this to be helpful. Additionally, the information learned in this study may be helpful to others in identifying psychotherapeutic processes and outcomes as they may relate to improving psychological training or therapy processes.

Hello,
We are Nikki Jones, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor of Psychology, Colorado Mesa University) and Melanie Brewster, Ph.D. (Assistant Professor of Psychology, Columbia University). We are conducting a study about heterosexual allies for LGBT groups. It is our hope that with this study, we can contribute to the understanding of the experiences of the developmental process allies go through, and develop a measure to assess this process. Your participation is essential to achieving this goal. This is the final phase of validation for this measure. You may have taken this survey before, but are encouraged to take this one as well, as we have further refined the scale. At the end of the survey you will be offered the opportunity to receive an email in two weeks just to retake the ally development scale, which is the focus of the study. We would appreciate your help with this if you are interested.
In order to participate, you must be 18 years old, heterosexual, and living in North America.We are also in need of participants of color as well as men to complete the survey. If you would like to participate in the study, please click on the link below and you will be directed to the online survey:
https://coloradomesasbs.us.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0xFR8bHKCGTqojq
Thank you very much in advance for your time! Please feel free to pass on this link to other people who might be eligible. We hope to represent the experiences of a diverse group of allies, so please feel free to encourage allies of different levels, and racial, ethnic, gender, age, and other backgrounds to participate.
If you have any question about this study, please contact Nikki Jones, Ph.D., (nnjones@coloradomesa.edu) Assistant Professor of Psychology, in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Colorado Mesa University.

Thank you for all your participation!
My name is Sebastian Barr, under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Budge, and I am currently conducting a research project as part of my doctoral program that explores well-being in individuals who have undergone a gender transition (including but not limited to people who identify as female, male, genderqueer, transgender female, transgender male, stealth, binary, non-binary). To qualify for the study, participants must have undergone some degree of a social and/or medical gender transition (for many participants this can be phrased as living as a gender different from the sex they were assigned at
birth) and be over the age of 18. Partitipation involves completing an online questionnaire that will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
The information collected may or may not benefit you directly; however, you will have the opportunity to reflect on a range of life experiences and emotions (both seemingly related and unrelated to transition). Some people may find this to be helpful. Additionally, the information learned in this study may be helpful to others in understanding how different approaches to individuals’ identities can
result in higher levels of well-being. This could lead to important applications in therapy and counseling.
It is extremely important to us that the research reflects the wide range of identities and experiences of those who have gone through a gender transition, so we strongly encourage the participation of
individuals who are often left out of other studies, e.g., those who live stealth or do not identify as transgender, as well as people with non-binary identities.
If you are interested in being a part of this study, you can complete the questionnaire here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TransitionAndIdentityStudy
If you have any questions, please contact Sebastian Barr at smbarr01@louisville.edu or Stephanie Budge, slbudg01@louisville.edu.

Calling all College of Fine Arts Students, Faculty and Staff:
We are interested in hearing more about your perspectives, experiences and opinions on diversity and equity in COFA. The Fine Arts Diversity Committee is conducting focus groups in the college from February 18-28 to learn what you think about these topics. Our hope is to create a space for open dialogue where participants can share their perspectives and insight.
Sign up today to attend a focus group by clicking here or by visiting: http://bit.ly/Y5ifA7

Howdy! My name is Michael Thorson and I am a teacher in the Texas public school system, as well as, a doctoral candidate at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Currently I am conducting a research study that is examining heteronormativity, or the social construct of heterosexuality as “normal”, and how it influences the policies, practices and curriculum within the Texas public school system and its’ impact on gay white students.
Most research that has been conducted on LGBTIQ educational issues is either quantitative in design or focuses on administrators, teachers, and other educators—with virtually none focusing on the students’ point of view. Furthermore, very little research examines the experiences of students in the South. My study will address this gap in the research and concentrate on the experiences of the students that homophobia and bullying affect directly in the Texas public education system.
I am looking for participants that meet the following criteria:
• Identify as gay and white.
• Attended public schools in Texas from kindergarten through 12th grade.
• From industrial oil cities in Texas
• 18 to 20 years of age
Thank you for taking the time to consider participating in my study. If you are interested please contact me at lonestarofdavid@tamu.edu. If you chose to participate please be aware that you are free to exit the study at any time.

Asian American Lesbian and Bisexual Women Stress and Resilience Survey
I am conducting a study to explore challenges, coping strategies, and positive aspects of being an Asian American woman who experiences attraction to members of the same sex. Historically, researchers have neglected the lives of Asian American lesbian or bisexual persons, and very little research has been published thus far regarding the lives of lesbian and bisexual women of color; therefore this study aims to shed light on the Asian American lesbian and bisexual women’s experiences. I sincerely invite you to participate in this survey to help me learn more about the Asian American lesbian and bisexual women in our communities!
To be eligible for this study, you must be an Asian/Asian American woman who is at least 18 years old, has experienced same-sex attraction, and currently resides in the United States. The survey is anonymous, and takes about 45-60 minutes or more to complete since it may vary depending on your commitment and what kind of experiences you have. As an incentive to participate, all participants will be given the chance to enter a raffle awarding $100 Amazon.com gift certificate to three randomly selected participants.
