“You Either Die a Hero or You Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain”: An AsianCrit Analysis of Narrative Building Within the Social Studies Curriculum

• In Event: Social Studies and Ethnic Studies

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the hegemonic curriculum’s intent to negate stories of representations, resistance and civic belonging of Asian Americans. Through several tenets of AsianCrit and Bahkin’s narrative analysis, we investigate how dominant narratives can be disrupted and dismantled by social studies teacher education candidates through critical pedagogical content knowledge and critical pedagogical practices.
