AAS 310: Constructing and Negotiating Multiracial Identity

AAS 310: Constructing and Negotiating Multiracial Identity

University of Texas, Austin
Center for Asian American Studies
Fall 2008

This course serves as an introduction to the experiences of biracial and multiracial people, specifically with a focus on “mixed”/hapa Asian American, African American and Latino people in the U.S., concentrating on theories of race, racial identity formation, culture, media, and social justice struggles. As such, it presents the major themes and issues in a new and growing interdisciplinary field of scholarly research and cultural production.

Throughout the semester, the goal is to foster a classroom environment which will become a community space in which the beliefs and attitudes of all participants are respectfully considered.
