SOCI 3315 - Asian American Experience

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: None.
Description
This course is designed to answer questions such as who are Asian Americans and what are their historical, demographic and socio-economic trends, and what is the model minority myth/thesis from the social scientific perspective. Far too often, skewed statistics have been used to paint inaccurate portrait of APA communities. This course hopes to correct some of those mis-perceptions of APA by studying the most comprehensive set of statistics and figures, historical records, scientific analyses, and first hand narratives of APAs. Global Scholars course.
