Hidden No More: Illuminating the Stories of Asian Americans

Jan 3, 2023

Hidden No More is a new and original eight-session course that illuminates how Asian Americans are authors of both their own stories and the broader American story. We’ll witness how the experiences of Asian immigrants, exiles, and refugees have been shaped by U.S. global policies across time and identify the unique pressures and presumptions placed upon Asians once here - as not really American, frequently invisible, sometimes a “model," but often threatening. We'll focus primarily on events since the 1960s, as mass Asian immigration and the post-9/11 U.S. War on Terror have significantly reshaped Asian American demographics and place in society. Throughout the whole course, we’ll explore the very idea of “Asian America” as a movement for equality and solidarity with other people of color.  This course is open to people of all racial identities. Whether you're an Asian American or a non-Asian ally, we invite you to journey through the history of Asian America together.
