This course is an introductory, cross-disciplinary examination of issues related to gender and sexuality among Asian Americans, with critical attention paid to diverse experiences across various social, economic, and political contexts, including a special attention to environmental justice. In this course we will examine historical contexts, key theoretical race, gender and sexuality frameworks, and sociological studies as well as critically interrogate a diverse range of Asian American and Asian narratives regarding gender and sexualities. Throughout the course each student will apply their analytical Asian American genders and sexualities knowledge with discussion, presentation, and a final Wiki project.
Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with me to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Content Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts. You will find that these handouts have useful principles for the future assignments (i.e. Critiquing an Article). You are expected to have read these two handouts by the end of class Monday 10/16.

This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Begin a blog about your experiences. You can use discussion questions to frame your entries or reflect on the research and writing process thus far. Create at least one blog (250 words) entry each week during the Wikipedia assignment.

Due Date: 11/13

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
