Asian Americans have contributed to the US for centuries, yet much of this history has not been taught in schools. They are often a misunderstood community, being seen as the “perpetual foreigner” or the “model minority.” Conversely, they are a complex group that capture a broad range of social locations and ethnicities, informed by a rich history with distinctive regional and geographic factors.
In this webinar, we will investigate how to go beyond representation through themes in Asian American Studies, and connect them to various stories of the past and today. Participants will be provided with teaching resources and the opportunity to brainstorm ways in which these themes can be incorporated into classrooms.
