This course situates Asian American studies in conversation with feminist and queer of color critiques. For years, Asian American literary formation was shaped by a heteromasculinist ideology, but this course asks: What happens when we place queerness at the heart of Asian American cultural production? The course will teach students queer methods of reading against the grain, but it will also immerse them in queer alternatives to that canon. Throughout, the course will chart the literary, artistic, and scholarly genealogies of queer Asian American writers and artists.
