In this AAPI episode, we'll be exploring the complex and often contradictory ways that Asian American men are socialized about gender and race. Asian American men are socialized about gender and race largely influenced by white hegemonic masculinity. Further, these messages come from our families, our communities, and the media. They tell Asian American boys and men what it means to be a man, what it means to be Asian, and how those two identities intersect. In this episode, Dr. Keum discusses his findings, themes from the voices of Asian American participants from his recently published article, Asian American Men’s Gendered Racial Socialization and Fragmented Masculinity: Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Dr. Keum also shares affirming interventions to consider at the therapeutic, family, and systems level.
