Hmong Studies is interwoven with
community engagement and collaboration

Hmong Studies is for all students because of it’s development in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, Asian American studies, critical race studies, critical refugee studies, education, history, social work, public health, legal studies, and sociology. Students who take Hmong studies will be asked to be reflexive and to contextualize their lived experiences within a larger frame of analysis—examining the social, political and cultural. Students also will gain familiarity in theories on racialization, decolonialism, transnationalism and displacement―theories that are deeply connected to communities beyond Hmong Studies. And most importantly, students will learn how to apply the knowledge gained in the program to everyday life, current events, and communities in and outside of the walls of UWO.
