Program Description

The program's undergraduate minor affords students an opportunity to develop a multidisciplinary approach to the study of Asians in the hemispheric Americas. The course of study stresses developments within the United States, but also underscores the transnational and comparative contexts of Asian America. In stressing the intellectual value of comparative analysis, the AAS Minor also draws attention to the ways in which Asian American histories, themes, and concerns are interwoven with, and need to be understood in relation to, those to be found, for example, in the subject matter of African American, American Indian, Latina/o, Feminist, Gender and Sexuality, and Asian studies.
