The workshop aims to offer an understanding of race, racism, and the particular racial formations embedded in the classroom and a discussion on ways to apply anti-racist pedagogy to courses in Asian studies. With scholars of Asian culture, history, and language participating, this workshop opens discussions on the challenges of incorporating anti-racist pedagogy into our classrooms to overcome both perceived personal and institutional barriers and on practical strategies and models of intentional anti-racist curriculum. The topics of discussion include teaching models of anti-racist and social justice, syllabus-making, selection of teaching materials, challenges and problems in the classroom, etc.
