Spring 2025 SEAC Course
SEAC 2025, Southeast Asian identities in popular culture and literature, examines how Southeast Asian identities are made “legible” across different cultural media. Participants will explore issues of representation and translation in contexts of change, such as colonialism/post-colonialism, diaspora and migration, settler colonialism, indigeneity, and globalization, and ask questions about who is included and excluded in processes of representation, translation, and globalization.
The course is open to all students in CUNY and SUNY, grad and undergrad, regardless of discipline.
Your co-professors will be EK Tan (Stony Brook University), Martina Nguyen (Baruch College/CUNY), and Lauren Meeker (SUNY New Paltz).
