Learner Reviews & Feedback for Asian American History and Identity: An Anti-Racism Toolkit by University of Colorado Boulder

About the Course

In this course, students will develop a greater understanding of Asian American history and identities, explore the problematic history of anti-Asian discrimination in the US, and develop skill sets that they can use to address anti-Asian hate and violence in their community. Target learners include students interested in Asian American history and Anti-Racism, but also any learner interested in creating more inclusive communities for AAPI Americans and stopping racism, hate, and violence in their community. Drawing from a diverse range of Asian American experiences, this course will utilize a variety of course-specific and open-source materials and activities that include facilitated conversations, interviews, videos, articles, podcasts, and art to guide the learner through 3 weekly modules. Week 1 focuses on the history of Asian American cultures and identities in the US. Week 2 tightens this lens to examine contextual examples of anti-Asian racism in US history and culture as well as artists, activists, and communities who have actively resisted Anti-Asian violence. Week 3 explores examples of Asian American activism and anti-racism using a humanities-centered approach and encourages learners to think about ways to deploy the skills developed throughout the course in their own communities and lives. During the course, learners will have the opportunity to complete self-guided reflections and responses to course material that will develop their knowledge of anti-racist practices and active bystander intervention. Learners who complete the course will be offered the opportunity to earn a Coursera badge/certificate and all participants will be encouraged to take the knowledge and skills gained from the course into their communities....

I thought this was very interesting! Three things stand out: 1) hints of how to counter racism (super helpful!), 2) the personal stories and perspectives of the people who were interviewed, and 3) that there is a lack of historical/cultural info available even if you search it out.

Disclaimer: I audited this course, and watch videos while exercising, so didn't do the reading.

Included was a link to a youtube about Vietnamese immigrantion that was fascinating, and when I searched for history of Vietnam in English on youtube, I couldn't really find anything.(I found the same situation on the history of Eastern European countries, etc also, but it's unfortunate as videos can be an excellent way to learn..)
