Introduction to Asian American Studies
Academic Noncredit

Introduction to Asian American Studies prepares students for understanding the journey of Asian immigrant groups (and subsequent American-born generations) as they have settled in the Americas since the 1700s. Issues addressed include the formation of ethnic communities, labor, role of the state and institutions, race relations, politics, gender and sexuality, and culture and identity. Topics may also include anti-Asian hate crimes, affirmative action debates, and popular culture.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course. Students can purchase any assigned hardcopy textbooks through our Campus Bookstore.
