Hard Work Pays Off At Harvard For Asian American Literature

Nice to hear that after a semester of advocating by students and teachers that English 181A - Asian American Literature - go its due down at Harvard:

The increased interest comes after a semester of advocacy by students and faculty concerned with the College’s lack of Asian American studies offerings. Last October, the College formed an Asian American Studies Working Group, aimed at creating more opportunities for students and faculty interested in the field.

In addition, a group of undergraduates is pushing for more curricular offerings in Asian and Pacific Americans Studies. The group held a town hall in December to appeal to the Harvard administration to create a formal academic program in the area.

Apparently about 100 students showed up for the class.

Cool.
