This first-year seminar introduces students to historical and contemporary issues of Asians in America, through the lens of food and culture. We will examine how foodways often shape gender roles, labor, power dynamics, and Asian American identity. Focusing on Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Indian, and Vietnamese American communities, we will explore how "Food is our only common language."
