1 South Asian Migration to the U.S. Syllabus the Center for Asian American Studies, the University of Texas at Austin AAS325 ( South Asian Migration to the U.S. Syllabus The Center for Asian American Studies, The University of Texas at Austin AAS325 (35865) /ANS372 (31540) /HIS365G (39545) Fall 2011 Instructor: Amber H. Abbas Course Description: This course will introduce students to the major themes in Asian American Studies including Migration, Assimilation, Acculturation, Multiculturalism, Discrimination, Gender and Sexuality. The course begins with an examination of the push-pull factors of migration by looking at the broader world of South Asian migration worldwide. Our study quickly narrows in on the early Sikh migration to the American West Coast. The liberalization of American immigration law in the 1960s provides the platform for continuing the discussion of push-pull factors of migration and sets the stage for a thorough examination of the 1960s migration of South Asian Americans from various states in the subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal). These migrants and their offspring populate the remainder of our study as we examine the particulars of their experience. Our study will break these problems down into thematic units: family, youth, the elderly, labor and work, depictions in popular culture, gender and sexuality and faith. In several final sessions of the class, we will look beyond America’s effect on South Asian emigrants to the effect of South Asians on American culture. Ultimately, we will consider the implications and possibilities of the new trend of Return wherein South Asian Americans consider pursuing careers in the land of their parents’ or grandparents’ birth. This course carries the flag for Cultural Diversity in the United States. Cultural Diversity courses are designed to increase your familiarity with the variety and richness of the American cultural experience. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from assignments covering the practices, beliefs, and histories of at least one U.S. cultural group that has experienced persistent marginalization. Course Objectives: This course seeks to explore the one hundred year history of South Asian migrants in the United States by pushing historical understanding beyond the stereotypes of South Asian Americans: the convenience store operator, the engineer and the doctor. Students will be encouraged to engage with literature beyond the boundaries of their own experience of family and faith to recognize the ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity of South Asian migrants, to consider the challenges of acculturation and assimilation in academic terms. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to participate in extra-curricular events that expose them to the themes of the course. These may include films, dance performances, visits to religious sites and meetings, engagement with current events involving South Asian migrants and issues of importance to them. Finally, students will conduct an oral history interview with a South Asian migrant about their own experience and understanding of some of the themes covered in the class that the student will present as a final oral and written project. [Reading totals are between 70- 1 100 pages per week. Reading page totals decline towards the end of the semester because the Final Oral History Project will take extra time- especially transcription.] Grading Policy: Attendance and Participation 20% Response Papers 20% Review Essay 15% Final Oral History Project Total 45% Questionnaire 5% Oral History Interview and Transcript 15% Peer Transcript Review 5% Analytical Essay 20% Attendance and Class Participation: Students are expected to attend class and to be prepared to participate in discussions based on the assigned readings. Failure to attend or to participate in class discussions will result in a loss of points. Attendance and Class Participation are worth 20 points, which is a big chunk of your final grade. Response Papers: Students will complete two Reading Response Papers. Students will be expected to engage with the both the theoretical and content issues present in the assigned readings. This is an opportunity for students to express how the readings fit in to their own experience, their general knowledge, and how the readings contribute to our understanding of the issues at stake in the class. Each paper should be approximately 500- 800 words (2-3 pages double spaced). Each Reading Response Paper is worth 10 points. Review Essay: Students will read/view/experience some aspect of South Asian diasporic cultural production and write a review that engages with the issues of interest to the class. The cultural product might be a novel, a memoir, collection of short stories, an art exhibition, documentary, film, video project or other approved media. A preliminary bibliography is attached. All cultural products under review must be approved by the instructor. The Review Essay should be approximately 800-1200 words (3-5 pages double spaced). The Review Essay is worth 15 points. Final Oral History Project: Students will locate and conduct an oral history interview of at least one hour with a South Asian Migrant—some one who migrated under their own power (i.e. was not brought by parents, or born in the United States)—and hand in a select transcript of relevant portions of the interview (15%). Students will design a questionnaire based on the issues of importance to the class (including but not limited to: reasons for migration, experience of arrival, concerns of assimilation, raising a family, challenges of belonging, work experience, and the question of Home/Return) as well as any prior knowledge about the experience of the interviewee (5%) Students will peer review/ audit a colleague’s interview transcript. The Reviewer will earn 5% of their own grade from this exercise. Finally, students will write an analytical research essay of approximately 1200-2500 words (5-10 pages double spaced) that engages with the 2 literature and issues we have studied in the class as well as the data collected in the oral history interview. Many of the articles we will read in the class are based on ethnographic research, and will serve as examples for formatting this final paper. Bibliography must be included. The Final Oral History Project is worth a total of 45 points (breakdown above). Texts: Brown, Judith M. Global South Asians: Introducing the Modern Diaspora.

Program’s goal is to cultivate promising and interested youth through innovative leadership opportunities to help build a pipeline of future leaders for NFIA and or the community at large – a pipeline of great and innovative minds who may help in getting the message of NFIA out – a message of civic leadership and community engagement. In order to test-drive the program, a small batch of students, between the ages of 18- 29, will be selected in four to five locations. NFIA hopes that internship program and its benefits to students may bring new interest from parents and students and they may try to look for NFIA’s mission and its interest in community building. A service to the community that has provided the Indian immigrants to build a career here in the United States of America and now these individuals are capable and willing in helping the community first by being good citizens of this land of opportunity, also by being successful as entrepreneurs who are capable of creating employment opportunities for others, and are interested in paying back to the community that has helped them to climb the professional, educational, and career ladder. Students identified in different areas will have coordinators who will help them succeed during their internship period, counsel them, and at the end of their internship officially and publicly award a certificate of completion from NFIA.

This paper attempts to examine and analyze a stand-up comedy and two sitcoms respectively, by focusing on two specific questions: How do their performances construct a sense of their own identity as Canadians or as Americans? What role does the genre of ethnic comedy or humor play in creating an anti-racist discourse? Meera Ashar, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Show or Tell? Performance as Instruction in Govardhanram’s Saraswatichandra This paper argues that the use of the literary form of the novel and the idiom of Reform are impelled by a similar drive towards re-presentation and pedagogy and away from an understanding of instruction that has its roots in action-knowledge.

July 2018 Number of words: 94,887 Abstract My dissertation develops a new perspective on Arab American cultural histories during the early to mid-20th century in the US. I focus mostly on Syrian and Lebanese American women in the Northeast and their strategies of self-representation. Archival traces of these women’s public visibility are scarce and distributed across a wide range of media: photography, reader comments, correspondence, club minutes or unpublished memoirs. Through adaptive agency women select and incorporate widely legible elements of hegemonic, racialized tropes of womanhood in their cultural, narrative or embodied forms of self-representation. These adaptive choices can be traced across different kinds of archival material and thus reveal how Arab American women positioned themselves in the US cultural sphere.
