Teaching Japanese Incarceration using MULTI-MODAL SOURCES
Join Dr. Noreen Naseem Rodríguez (Michigan State University), a leading scholar on education about Asian American studies, to consider teaching and learning about the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and the legacies of this difficult history through multi-modal sources. Teachers will explore immigrants entangled in US-Japan relations prior to 1941, rationales for incarceration, local and personal experiences of incarceration, Japanese American resistance, and legacies of incarceration. Core texts include Rachel Maddow’s podcast Burn Order and the picturebook Unbreakable: A Japanese American Family in an American Incarceration Camp by co-authors Minoru Tonai and Jolene Gutiérrez and illustrator Chris Sasaki.
