CSRE 91D: Asian American Autobiography/W (AMSTUD 91A, ASNAMST 91A, ENGLISH 91A)

This is a dual purpose class: a writing workshop in which you will generate autobiographical vignettes/essays as well as a reading seminar featuring prose from a wide range of contemporary Asian-American writers. Some of the many questions we will consider are: What exactly is Asian-American memoir? Are there salient subjects and tropes that define the literature? And in what ways do our writerly interactions both resistant and assimilative with a predominantly non-Asian context in turn recreate that context? We'll be working/experimenting with various modes of telling, including personal essay, the epistolary form, verse, and even fictional scenarios. First priority to undergrads. Students must attend the first class meeting to retain their roster spot.

CSRE 91RW: Ethnofuturist Rhetorics: Imagining the Future of Race (PWR 91RW)

In this project-based course, we will explore ethnofuturism, a rhetorical movement to imagine the future of race relations in our society.

Du Bois, Derrick Bell, Octavia Butler, Ken Liu, Bao Phi, Wenuri Kahiu, Lisa Jackson, Grace Dillon, Marjorie Liu, and Sana Takeda. Our goal will be to explore how these narratives envision the future consequences of existing racial systems and imagine alternative possibilities for societal race relations.

CSRE 131: Trauma, Healing, and Empowerment in Asian America (ASNAMST 131)

In these perilous times we need places of refuge where we can affirm our humanity and renew our commitment to social justice. Using historical and collective trauma of Asian Americans as a focus, we illuminate our current struggles to find meaning and balance in the face of anti-Asian violence. In a beloved community we gently witness and touch our wounds, finding healing and empowerment. Women elders lead us in healing practices that are experiential, embodied, and creative expression. Our practices are based in Heartfulness, mindfulness, compassion, and responsibility. This self-reflective process uses narrative, oral and written, as a way of becoming whole, healing wounds of home, community, roots, and identity.

CSRE 141E: Counterstory in Literature and Education (EDUC 141, EDUC 341, LIFE 124)

Counterstory is a method developed in critical legal studies that emerges out of the broad "narrative turn" in the humanities and social science. This course explores the value of this turn, especially for marginalized communities, and the use of counterstory as analysis, critique, and self-expression. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we examine counterstory as it has developed in critical theory, critical pedagogy, and critical race theory literatures, and explore it as a framework for liberation, cultural work, and spiritual exploration.

DANCE 1: Contemporary Modern I: Liquid Flow

Students in Liquid Flow will participate in a dance and movement class that teaches the fundamentals of dance technique and addresses the way we already dance through the world. By discovering our own movement signatures, and becoming aware of other people's dance, motion, and energy in space, we will transform the way we inhabit flow states, from the dance studio, into everyday life, and ultimately onto the stage. Accompanied by a live DJ, students will develop technique, articulation, flexibility, and grace, to gain freedom while dancing, and mine dance's potential for social transformation and connection. We will draw from various movement traditions and practices, including contemporary modern, ballet, lyrical, Tai chi and yoga, with opportunities to remix other styles. Designed for all levels, we welcome beginners, student movers from diverse dance traditions, athletes, and advanced dancers, who desire more fluidity in their lives.
