Asian American Studies

About

The Program in Asian American Studies(link is external), administered by the Effron Center for the Study of America, provides students with the opportunity to gain an interdisciplinary perspective on the diversity of Asian American and Pacific Islander histories, cultures, and contemporary experiences. The course of study focuses on the formative emergence of this pan-ethnic group in the United States. It also highlights Asian America's transnational connections and contexts, including the dynamics of globalization, migration, imperialism, and postcoloniality. The structure of the Program in Asian American Studies facilitates productive engagement with the programs housed in the Effron Center and encourages comparative and intersectional work with the Department of African American Studies, Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies, and other relevant fields of study that help to contextualize Asian American histories and cultures within the diversity of experiences in the United States.
