American Experience

Using the thematic of immigration to and migration within the United States, this course will explore "American experiences" from the early 20th century to the present. Course materials will include literature, films, visual art, and other media forms, with an eye to how each text gives representational shape to the experiences they depict. We will concentrate especially on how they negotiate issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. (Gen. Ed. AL, DU)

ST- Food as Culture

A central tenet of nutrition research is that our food choices are largely determined by nutritional need. But this isn't a nutrition class. This is a sociology class, and one of the main ideas of this class is that there are considerable social forces at work behind how, and what, we eat. Think about availability, cost, religious guidelines, short-term diets for health purposes, and cultural beliefs.

S-Asian American Feminisms

How have the figures of the Chinese bachelor, the geisha, the war bride, the hermaphrodite, the orphan, the tiger mother, the Asian nerd, the rice king, the rice queen, and the trafficked woman shaped understandings of Asian Americans, and how have these representations been critiqued by Asian American feminist scholars and writers? Is there a body of work that constitutes "Asian American feminism(s)" and what are its distinctive contributions to the field of Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies?
