Asian American Racialization in Education

This course examines how race and other social processes in education have shaped understandings of the racial category of "Asian American." Students will investigate how education as a social institution makes, remakes, and challenges racial narratives about Asian Americans, as well as implications for the U.S. racial structure. Drawing upon research in Education, Sociology, and Asian American Studies, we interrogate assumptions about Asian Americans' educational success. Selected topics include parental engagement, race/ethnicity intersections, higher education, social class, and community organizing.
