In my Asian American history course, my students learn about the experiences of Asians and Asian Americans in the US from the 16th century to the present. We cover topics such as the Galleon Trade and the image of the "Coolie," Chinese exclusion and the Yellow Peril, Filipino labor migrations, and anti-Asian hate in the present-day COVID-19 crisis. In our study of these historical and contemporary issues, we explore the complexities of race, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship as they have defined Asian America.

In my Gender and US militarism course, my students learn about the relationship between gender and US wars, military engagements, and communities. While focusing on key concepts such as domesticity, paternalism, sexuality, and citizenship, we examine not only the experiences of women but how constructions of masculinity and femininity have shaped militarization and have defined the US nation. While exposing students to interdisciplinary scholarship on these topics, the course centers feminist and decolonial perspectives.
