Abstract | In this article, I draw from my experience working as a Korean American music teacher in the US. I reflect on what it means to be Asian American and to bring Asian narratives to the forefront. I examine the distinct challenges of social justice in the context of Asians and Asian Americans' lives--particularly through the lens of the "model minority." The COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted Asians and Asian Americans' lived experiences in ways unlike before. I discuss perceptions of Asians throughout US history and the current representativeness of Asian music in the framework of multicultural education. Grounded in Erving Goffman's notion of "covering," Kenji Yoshino's extension of this concept (the "four axes" of covering), and Edward Said's "Orientalism," I make seven recommendations to empower Asians and Asian educators in this time of crisis. The article explores and situates the current challenges of anti-Asian racism, connecting it to aforementioned theories and briefly proposes the concept of [Korean characters omitted] (Hongik-Ingan) to course-correct, support, and acknowledge Asian educators' multiplicity of identities as allies. (As Provided). |
