在这门研讨课中，我们将会逐步审视时九世纪至今，有关亚裔美国人种族和性别相互交错的各种议题。课程主题包括种族及性别的论述、传媒对亚裔美国女性及男性的刻板印象、亚裔美国人的男子气概、亚裔美国人女权主义及族裔民族主义、同性恋身份、社会阶级和劳工议题、国内暴力事件以及文化防御（cultural defense）。课程重点在于影片中对亚裔美国人的研究，亦会要求同学完成一份二十至四十页的期末小组专题报告（页数视小组人数而定）。此外，本学期的课程亦要求简短的口头报告、书面作业以及一份参考书目报告。

In this seminar we will examine various issues related to the intersection of race and gender in Asian America, starting with the nineteenth century and working our way up to the present. Topics to be covered may include racial and gender discourse, the stereotyping of Asian American women and men in the media, Asian American masculinity, Asian American feminism and ethnic nationalism, gay and lesbian identity, class and labor issues, domestic violence, and the "cultural defense." The study of Asian Americans in film will form a significant component of this course. The class will require a final group project of 20-40 pages (depending on group size). In addition, there will be brief oral presentations and writing assignments during the course of the semester, and a bibliography project.
