WAA is delighted to announce that Prof. Emily Lawsin from UMich, Ann Arbor will be joining Wellesley's AMST faculty for the upcoming semester to teach new AMST 248: Asian American Perspectives on Identity & Community Formation.The following is the course information:
CRN 24312
Fridays, 12:30 p.m. - 2:40 p.m.
JAC 452
This course offers a set of analytic tools for grappling with the historical and contemporary complexities of Asian American identification and community formation. It will introduce different theoretical frames for exploring the meaningful contours of the terms "Asian American" in relation to other racialized and ethnic groups in the U.S. The goal of this course is to provide students with useful theoretical and practical tools for critically thinking about the ever-shifting terrain of Asian American identification in the wider contexts of orientalism, U.S. imperialism and nationalism, racialization and racism, economic restructuring, transnationalism and other social processes and transformations.
Prerequisite: Not open to students who have previously taken ANTH 220
Distribution: Social and Behavioral Sciences
Unit 1.0
The maximum enrollment for this course is 25. You can add this course online starting from 2/2/09 at 8 a.m. until 2/13/09 at 11 p.m. If it requires an instructor permission, you should contact Prof. Lawsin at elawsin@wellesley.edu and ask her to either sign an exception form, which can be printed or picked up from the Registrar's Office (GRH 3rd floor), or to electronically approve the course for you. And make sure you attend the class on the first day of Spring 2009, 2/2/09.

MARAMING SALAMAT/MANY THANKS for posting this! Just FYI: I didn't write that course description, so the course will be "Theory" AND "Practice", examining our own communities. The first 25 students shouldn't need a signature to enroll. Looking forward to meeting all of you! :-) ~ Auntie Emily
YAY WAA!!
