Dr. Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, activist and professor at the University of California, Davis, is providing an online course that explores the history of Asian Americans in the United States.

The university-level course will be based on Dr. Rodriguez\u2019s recently released second edition of her book, \u201cAsian America\u201d which is co-authored with Dr. Pawan Dhingra.

The official press release states the course is \u201cdesigned for those working in K-12 education who are interested in gaining better insight into their Asian American student\u2019s lives in all of their complexity.\u201d

Many factors contribute to the Asian American experiences but the courses will explore five main areas: American history of immigration and settlement, Asian American identities, Asian American families and intimate relationships, Asian Americans\u2019 educational and economic achievement and Interethnic\/interracial relations including the long history of anti-Asian hate.

Moreover, these main areas will also highlight how the structures of inequality (racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism) impact different Asian ethnic communities.

\u201cI have always thought it was a shame that Asian American Studies is only offered at a select number of colleges and universities around the United States,\u201d says Dr. Rodriguez, whose parents immigrated from the Philippines.

\u201cI know communities of color around the country have been clamoring for knowledge for and about us, but we also face great obstacles to support Ethnic Studies or Critical Race Theory. With the launch of this course, I\u2019m excited to make Asian American Studies (which draws from and builds upon Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory) accessible to anyone passionate about learning the topic.\u201d

Dr. Rodriguez\u2019s university-level course is available to anyone in the public who wishes to learn more about Asian American history.

The course will be delivered online with two options to choose from: the self-paced\/asynchronous learning and the hybrid option wherein students can virtually meet fellow students and Dr. Rodriguez.

The course ranges from $159 to $259 depending on the asynchronous or hybrid option. To avail Dr. Rodriguez\u2019s Asian America course, visit liberatingeducation.thinkific.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
