The primary objective of the course is to engage students with selected aspects of the emerging canon of scholarly literature in Asian American Studies, specifically social and health problems that face Asian America. Students will critically examine the nature and characteristics of social problems in health and well being that Asian Americans experience, and engage with theoretical frameworks for understanding such social problems. They will also have the opportunity to review potential solutions to these issues and discuss current approaches to public health interventions that attempt to address these challenges. The course adopts a case study approach and incorporates a community-based participatory research module and process as the basis of a course research project.
