Course Description:
Art as a Form of Resistance in Asian and Pacific Islander Communities introduces the history and issues revolving around API communities and the different forms of art they use as a form of expression and resistance to those issues. The class touches upon five topics: privilege, gender equity, globalization, environmental injustice, and the API movement and features a variety of guest speakers.
Course Objectives:
The purpose of this course is to examine a number of critical questions regarding agency, history, identity, and solidarity among the various communities of Asians and Pacific Islanders.
