Motivation to Teach Social Action:
Incorporating social action into the classroom. I have an Asian American history course that has a public history element, but I want to redesign the course to something more community and action oriented.
Course Description:
I am really excited about the conversations we are going to have, projects we are going to undertake, and the material and topics we are going to work on this semester. People from the continent of Asia (loosely defined, it is made up after all) have been migrating to, visiting, sojourning in, and making a home in the Americas for a long long time. Their lives were multifaceted, and often full of challenges, but they were central in the crafting of new nations and communities on this continent. We will focus primarily on the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries and North America, but we will not be bound by labels or taxonomies. I have chosen some topics to study, but you will choose some topics as well. This discussion and project-based course will integrate social action. [1]
