	47519	Lecture-Discussion	KOG	10:00AM -11:40AM	TR	G58 Foreign Languages Building	Ono, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Mixed Race Asian Americans. This course provides an introduction to the study of mixed race Asian Americans. From discussions of famous mixed race people, such as Tiger Woods, Keanu Reeves, Kristin Kreuk, Dean Cain, and Rob Schneider to research about interracial dating, interracial families, mixed race children, and multiracial activism, the course provides an understanding of theories of race, identity, and culture as they relate to biracial and multiracial Asian Americans. The course provides a theoretical understanding of racial identity formation, focusing at first on more general theories of race, and then moving to the more specific issues of multiracial identity and politics. Analysis of TV, film, and cyberspace images of mixed race Asian Americans will also lead to an understanding of the social context of our everyday experiences. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and course assignments, students will gain a broader understanding of race and its application to people of mixed racial heritage. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
