Welcome to De Anza College!
Below are the classes that I usually teach each year. However, in 2009-2010, I will not be teaching. Instead, I am working on an exciting new project called IMPACT AAPI, which is a collection of programs designed especially to support under-served Asian American and Pacific Islander students in reaching their educational goals at De Anza and beyond. In fall of 2008, De Anza College was one of six colleges/universities in the country awarded a two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The aim of the federal grant is to strengthen the college as an institution so that it better serves under-served student populations. IMPACT AAPI was launched with support from the grant.

Classes I usually teach...
ICS 4: Race, Ethnicity, and Social Stratification
(try this if you're interested in issues of inequality and social policy)
ICS 9: Studying Race and Ethnicity: Theories and Methods
(try this is you like to observe and interpret the everyday world around you) ICS 20: Asian American Experiences in History
(try this if you like to see how the present can be understood through the past)
The Youth Leadership Academy Program of the Asian Pacific American Leadership Institute (APALI) in the summer. This is an 8 unit, 14-day,  intensive class that introduces you to ideas and practices of leadership, community empowerment, and the local Asian American population. Try this if you want to meet great people, develop your leadership skills, and have a lot of fun all at the same time. Go to www.svapali.org to learn more and register.
I hope to see you in one of the IMPACT AAPI programs or in one my ICS classes!
