Asian American Experience: Social Psychological Perspectives

This course will analyze and evaluate the social, psychological and cultural underpinnings of long-standing "everyday" experiences common to Asian Americans (e.g., navigating biculturalism, microaggressions and model minority stereotypes) that may impact identity and mental health, as well as the psychosocial causes and consequences of significant current events that impact different Asian groups in the U.S., such as affirmative action.
