AAST498G CLASS ZINE: ROOTS

AAST498G: Asian American Women and Gender
Instructor: Dr. Jennifer Cho, Spring 2024

Roots are organic, regenerating, community ties, histories hidden until unearthed, life-giving,

To be uprooted and enrooted is the paradox Asian Americans have directly lived.

Roots are a complex system. This makes them unwavering and strong. When their stems are cut, they continue to nurture life.

About the Project
This project is a collective effort from every student enrolled in the course, each contributing to a piece surrounding ideas exploring Asian American women and gender. From brainstorming the narrative arc and visual style of the zine to fine-tuning submissions through peer feedback and collaboration, this project mirrors the kind of real time, community-based work that can happen in spaces beyond the classroom.
