ASNAMST 12SI: The Mindy Kaling Cinematic Universe

Every brown person has an opinion on Mindy Kaling - the only woman of color writer on The Office, the first woman of color with her own primetime sitcom. This course will use Kaling's works as a springboard to engage with contemporary South Asian American racial formation, including episodes of The Office, The Mindy Project, and Never Have I Ever, in conversation with other pop culture phenomena like Indian Matchmaking, Ms. Marvel, and comedic works by Hasan Minhaj, Aziz Ansari, and Kumail Nanjiani. Moving beyond the model minority myth, the course will explore South Asian Americans as agents of both progressive change and oppression, paying close attention to intersections of caste and religion within the diaspora.

ASNAMST 31N: Behind the Big Drums: Exploring Taiko (MUSIC 31N)

Preference to Freshman. Since 1992 generations of Stanford students have heard, seen, and felt the power of taiko, big Japanese drums, at Admit Weekend, NSO, or Baccalaureate. Taiko is a relative newcomer to the American music scene. The contemporary ensemble drumming form, or kumidaiko, developed in Japan in the 1950s. The first North American taiko groups emerged from the Japanese American community shortly after and coincided with increased Asian American activism. In the intervening years, taiko has spread into communities in the UK, Europe, Australia, and South America. What drives the power of these drums? In this course, we explore the musical, cultural, historical, and political perspectives of taiko through readings and discussion, conversations with taiko artists, and learn the fundamentals of playing. With the taiko as our focal point, we find intersections of Japanese music, Japanese American history, and Asian American activism, and explore relations between performance, cultural expression, community, and identity.

ASNAMST 104: Sexual Violence in Asian America (FEMGEN 116)

The course will make connections across historical and everyday violence on Asian American women to think about why violence against Asian women in wartime is hypervisible, yet everyday sexual violence against Asian American women is invisible. Reading texts from Asian American studies and Black and women of color feminism, we will consider the socialization of sexual violence and rape culture historically and within the present.
