Exploring the Identities of Korean Americans through Identity Journey Mapping in a Study Abroad Program
Hyesun Cho; Josh Hayes
International Journal of Multicultural Education, v26 n1 p79-101 2024
This study explores the identities of Korean American college students through identity journey maps during a faculty-led study abroad program in Korea. Drawing from Asian Critical theory (AsianCrit), this study presents how participants of Korean descent challenged a monolithic and unitary notion of Korean American identity while acknowledging the multifaceted, dynamic, and fluid nature of their transnational identity. Furthermore, it suggests that identity journey maps can serve as a pedagogical tool to counter racial stereotypes and discrimination against Asian Americans.
