在這門研討課中，我們將會逐步審視時九世紀至今，有關亞裔美國人種族和性別相互交錯的各種議題。課程主題包括種族及性別的論述、傳媒對亞裔美國女性及男性的刻板印象、亞裔美國人的男子氣概、亞裔美國人女權主義及族裔民族主義、同性戀身份、社會階級和勞工議題、國內暴力事件以及文化防禦（cultural defense）。課程重點在於影片中對亞裔美國人的研究，亦會要求同學完成一份二十至四十頁的期末小組專題報告（頁數視小組人數而定）。此外，本學期的課程亦要求簡短的口頭報告、書面作業以及一份參考書目報告。

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.
