Contemporary understandings of Asia often cast it as a site of global futurity which relies on ambivalent understandings of Asians as both technologically adept and ‘machines’ themselves. This association of Asians with technology and futurity has been called techno-Orientalism, and this course serves as an introduction to discourses that observe and critique this phenomenon. We will consider techno-Orientalism’s correspondences and departures from earlier Orientalism and look at its development from early ‘Yellow Peril’ narratives to the Cyberpunk era, to its contemporary formulations. We will consider how techno-Orientalism functions within both the US national context and within global relations. How does techno-Orientalism motivate understandings of Asian Americans as partial to STEM fields and industries which play into Model Minority myth? How do techno-Orientalist fears of Asian competition on the international level manifest in violence in the US such as in the recent spate of anti-Asian violence in the wake of COVID? Aside from theoretical readings, the course will include literature, film, and media that situate Asia as a site of global futurity, as well as texts from Asian American authors that subvert and complicate techno-Orientalist tropes and stereotypes.

The study of North America, at its root, is the study of Native America and African America. Typically, scholarship on the first Americans—and Africans and their descendants—are studied in isolation. Dominant trends in scholarship, journals, academic disciplines, and university departments tend to reinforce these boundaries. And yet, from the dawn of European colonization to the present day, the worlds of Black and Indigenous peoples have collided in ways that have shaped not only the history of each group, but also, European empires, the United States, and the Atlantic World. The legacy of this past is one that lingers.

In this seminar we will study the distinct and shared experiences of people of Indigenous and African descent. Within the broader context of Euro-American expansion, war, colonialism, and global capitalism, we will investigate the historical relationship of Native peoples to land—and African-descended peoples to labor. We will then develop a broader perspective on dispossession and slavery by examining the shared experiences of Black and Native peoples. On the one hand, we will study slavery as an institution that included Indigenous Americans, predominantly as slaves, but also, as enslavers. We will also examine land loss as a historical phenomena that impacted Black Indians and Black Americans.

The history of alliance and antagonism between Indigenous Americans and African Americans will provide another layer of analysis. It forms yet another dimension of the intersecting and shared experiences of both groups. Sometimes, Black and Indigenous peoples were allies in war and resistance, more generally; in other instances, they were antagonists. For decades, Indigenous Southerners enslaved people of African descent. While studying these contradictory relationships, we will also study the formation of mixed racial categories and identities. In this section of class we will focus on the lives and experiences of Black Indians.

Key subjects and themes include: Euro-American imperialism; settler colonialism; dispossession; chattel slavery; (racial) capitalism; the Atlantic World; Indian enslavement and Indian enslavers; race, racism, and the formation of racial categories; the contradictory nature of Black-Indian relationships; Black-Indians and mixed-race identities; American state formation and contemporary state violence; emancipation and sovereignty.

Course material will draw from classic and groundbreaking works across several disciplines, including Native American and Indigenous Studies, African American Studies, Black & Native histories; the law. Literature, documentary film, and scholarship on Black-Indian peoples and histories will also afford us new ways of learning the histories and legacies of people of Native and African descent in North America, and occasionally, the wider world.

This interdisciplinary seminar brings together the fields of Latinx studies, queer of color critique, and Decolonial feminism(s) to examine the lived experiences, politics, and literary and artistic production of trailblazing Queer Latinx artists, thinkers, and writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, José Esteban Muñoz, Félix González-Torres, and numerous others. Students will be introduced to key concepts and ideas that will range from intersectionality to racial capitalism, or the “coloniality of gender” (Lugones, 2008) to understand how race, racialization, ethnicity, and class have affected and shaped the ways in which Latinxs express sexual and gender identities. In class, we will model the queer practice of interrogating norms and traditions by exploring major interventions and contributions that push the limits of Latinx criticism. Topics will include the AIDS epidemic, trans* Latinx poetics and aesthetics, coming out and coming of age narratives, or reimaginations of family and kinship. By conducting in-depth analyses of memoirs, poems, essays, fiction, artworks, performances, and films, we will explore various questions: How have LGBTQIA+ Latinx creators and thinkers shaped and intervened in U.S. politics and history? What are the contributions Queer Latinx critique has made to critical race studies or feminist and/or queer theory at large? How do these writers and artists engage with queerness as a means of expanding dominant understandings of Latinidad?

This is a broad-based course that utilizes art and literature as political and historical tools of analysis. Students will be introduced to a variety of issues, debates, and methodologies which are central to Latinx studies. While engaging in a hands-on practice of self-inquiry and social critique, we will learn to model a comparative, intersectional, and transnational approach to study the work of influential Latinx writers, artists, and scholars. The class will facilitate contemporary discussions of cultural and political articulations of Latinidad. We will focus on key historical national and transhemispheric movements and events that have shaped the history of Latinx communities in the US such as ‘El Movimiento’ [Chicano Movement], the influx of Central American migration after prolonged civil wars and military interventions on the region, or the impact of NAFTA on the border. Given that Latinx creators often blur the boundaries of traditional literary, artistic, and scholarly genres, students will be working with works by diverse foundational figures which includes Afro-Nuyorican author Piri Thomas, queer Chicana multidisciplinary writer Gloria Anzaldúa and contemporary visual artists such as Firelei Báez and Guadalupe Maravilla. Topics addressed in the course will include: the history of U.S. imperialism in Latin America, transnational migration and the U.S.-Mexico border, the colonial legacies of anti-blackness, Latina feminism(s), or critical Latinx Indigeneities. The class is open and accessible to all students.

The first Americans met Europeans on their shores over five hundred years ago. They made the continent theirs millennia prior. And yet, Indigenous Americans are often missing, or misrepresented—in traditional, even contemporary portraits of North America. In this course, Indigenous peoples and perspectives anchor our study of the past and present.                     

An introduction to Native North America—and Native American and Indigenous Studies—this course will offer a sweeping portrait of the histories and legacies of settler colonialism, war, dispossession, and slavery in the continent; it will also reckon with contemporary issues, like reparations and the LandBack movement. Whenever possible, a global perspective will illuminate aspects of settler colonial states in places such as Australia, Finland, and Japan. More than anything, this sort of perspective will bring into view the magnitude of Indigenous power, resilience, and solidarity.

Specific subjects of study include: land loss; Native culture and spirituality; inter-cultural and inter-ethnic relations; human-nature interactions; U.S. land management practices, including resource extraction; Indian law and legal violence; sovereignty and self-determination; decolonization and reparations; gender equity and human rights. 

This interdisciplinary course draws from academic literature as well as the arts; this includes historical scholarship, the law, literature, film, settler colonial studies, and global history. Over the course of the term we will explore the ways in which these disciplines offer discrete approaches to the study of Native North America.

This is an introductory course in Asian American studies centered around questions of identity and representation. We will familiarize ourselves with key frameworks and theoretical readings in Asian American studies and think about how what it means to be Asian American has been conceptualized and articulated by Asian Americans in relationship to political, social and cultural discourse. The course will pay particular attention to how pop culture has increasingly become an important and contested site of identity formation. The course looks at a wide range of contemporary Asian American texts in different genres to analyze how Asian Americans represent themselves and are represented in popular culture. We will consider how popular media engages and interacts with contemporary Asian American political and social issues: How do themes such as identity, migration, and diaspora manifest in these texts? How do Asian American artists leverage different mediums for their aesthetic and political goals? How do economic pressures and marketability shape the possibilities of Asian American art?

Spring 2024 Course Description:

Contemporary discourse around Artificial Intelligence often centers the supposed existential risks AI may pose for all of humanity. AI ethicists have critiqued this framing for eliding the specific ways contemporary AI technologies have affected different populations, particularly the way AI technologies risk exacerbating bias and discrimination against people of color. The existential fear of AI has a long history in science fiction that has itself been influenced by historical racial discourse, and which has prompted comparisons with racialized populations. This course takes a broad view of the AI imaginary and its intersections with race, by considering both the influence of popular media and fiction and contemporary issues in AI ethics and development. We will consider how AI narratives have long relied on analogies to enslaved and oppressed populations. We will analyze how antiblackness and techno-Orientalist discourse have shaped and been shaped by technological developments in the field. We will consider how contemporary AI technologies deployed in war, policing and immigration, disproportionately harm people of color both in the US and globally. Our course readings will cover fiction and non-fictional sources to think about how our broader societal understandings of AI are influenced by a variety of contexts.

Spring 2024 Course Description:

In this course, students will examine the rich legacy of anticolonial struggle from around the world. Drawing upon scholarship in Critical Ethnic Studies and American Studies, we will journey through the overlapping historical, political, and intellectual formations of Black, Asian, Latinx, and Indigenous radicalism. By centering radical, anticolonial political actors, and social movements, we will discuss how BIPOC communities forged cross racial, internationalist solidarities to rebel against global white supremacy.
