Students will explore how different waves of immigration experiences (including factors of language and education) may impact the dynamic of Vietnamese families by analyzing various sources and creating a fictional dialogue.
After examining public opinion and demographics discussed in textbooks, students will examine data related to Hmong American communities by: (1) Drawing inferences to ideological learnings and partisanship and connect this to US electoral politics; (2) Learning about the close margins in current electoral politics and the impact of the Hmong vote in a battleground state, such as Wisconsin; and (3) Examining how congressional district demographics impact constituent services by examining HR 8110.
