EDUC 011. Advancing Inclusive Histories: Creating a K-12 Asian American Studies Curriculum.

Cross-listed as ASAM 011
In light of persistent anti-Asian racism, organizers and activists across the US have pushed for Asian American history to be taught in public schools. In this course, we will collaborate with a local public school to develop K-12 Asian American history curriculum. We will also explore the politics of public schooling and curriculum design, including whose histories are taught, and how. All students are welcome to participate in the work of creating curricula that advances more inclusive histories and combats harmful stereotypes. No previous coursework or experience needed. With advance instructor permission, students who are interested in developing other K-12 ethnic studies curricula (e.g., African American history) may take this course. Students interested in this option should have substantial prior content knowledge of the other area of study, as this course focuses on Asian American studies.
