Guest Lecturer: Pawan Dhingra

Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority population in the country. They provide a wonderful lens to the experiences of immigrants and minorities in the United States both historically and today. In "Asian America: Sociological and Interdisciplinary Perspectives," co-written with Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, Dhingra critically examines social hierarchies (of race, gender, and sexuality), work, education, family, culture, identity, media, pan-ethnicity, social movements and politics. Dhingra is a professor of sociology and american studies and Chair of the Department of Sociology at Tufts University.
