What is Korean American culture?
Who defines what it is?
How is it different from Korean and American culture?

This class seeks for its participants to engage in dialogue about these questions. We will work from the assumption that Korean American culture can be defined in many ways and encompasses more than what is traditionally considered culture. The topics for this course will cover several broad areas including history, literature/poetry, music, community, and gender issues. The class will meet weekly, with short readings and discussions being the integral part of the course. There will also be several speakers who will perform different kinds of Korean/Korean American music and discuss cultural activism. 
This class is offered through Asian American Studies, CSRE, and History. The class requires regular attendance, two short reflection papers, and an additional paper for those taking the class for 2 units. For more information, please contact Jennie Kim, jennie@leland.stanford.edu
