The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Asian Studies Program is offering a spring-semester course examining the experiences of Korean immigrants in the United States.
Tae-Ung Baik, professor of law and director of the Center for Korean Studies, will teach the course titled "Korean Immigrants in the USA: Past & Present" (ASAN 491K). The three-credit course will be offered Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The course will examine the identities and cultures of the Korean immigrants and the challenges they have faced in the multicultural society of the United States. It will seek to illuminate what past and present struggles can teach us about the future of the Korean community in Hawai‘i as well as in the nation at large.
Guest speakers, field trips, video exhibitions, and discussions will all be part of the course content.
