This was one of my favorite Soc upper divs. The topic was very interesting--it was great to zoom in one particular ethnic group & learn about their history, community, & issues. Some very interesting topics were raised--such as the "ethnoburb" phenomenon in the San Gabriel Valley, reasons why Chinese Americans fare so well in education regardless of socioeconomic status, & historical discrimination. Professor Zhou is incredibly sweet and talked a lot about her own children's experiences. The class was very easy--a fairly short interview-based paper plus a straightforward midterm & final.
