This course involves an intensive exploration of Asian American personal and cultural identities through psychological and literary analyses. What roles do factors like generation, migration, racism, gender, and ethnicity play in the formation of identity? Psychological readings will be paired with literature to examine how insights from psychologists and creative writers contradict, illuminate, and otherwise enliven our understanding of Asian American experiences. Enrollment limited to 18.
