Historically, Hollywood has produced and perpetuated dangerous tropes and stereotypes of Asian/Americans, particularly Asian/ American women. In recent decades, a diverse coalition of Asian/ American women directors, producers, actresses, comedians, and performers have been seeking new cinematic forms to break the tropes, articulate their humanity, sexuality, identity, cultural values, heritage, and living experiences. In this course, we will examine vibrant scholarship about cinema, feminism, gender and sexuality to explore the ways in which Asian/ American women have contested stereotypes and gender norms in the movie industry and social life and how their roles have evolved. Students will interact with a diverse array of films, TV shows, rom coms, stand-up comedies, and clips like Mindy Kaling’s Never Have I Ever, Why Women Kill by Lucy Liu; Ali Wong’s Baby Cobra; Killing Eve and The Chair by Sandra Oh, The Farewell by Awkwafina, and Crazy Rich Asians by Constance Wu.
