East Asian Survey, 200 B.C. to 2000 A.D.
Click here for syllabus
East Asia is vital to our global economy and rapidly changing American society. We need to understand this region more than ever to be the best possible global citizens in the 21st century. History is our starting point, for modern challenges and choices are inseparable from historical memory-the past lives in our present. This course introduces China, Japan, and Korea from ancient times to the present. Bitter enemies, best friends, imitators and innovators-the countries of East Asia have played all of these roles. We will explore how they have been connected to each other and to the world system for the past thousand years. Ethical and religious values, social hierarchy, conquests, border conflicts, imperialism, nationalism, and the search for identity will be our organizing themes as we explore the historical changes of these great civilizations.
20th Century China
Click here for syllabus
An old civilization, a young nation. A peace-loving society that lives in the shadow of upheaval and war. The nation that is drawing the most attention in the 21st century. Modern China is all of these things: full of contradictions and flux, a society both like and unlike our own. Let us study the history of modern China and understand how a 3000-year-old civilization has transformed from an empire to a republic, from republic to Communist state, and from Communist state to one of the world's economic powerhouses-over 2 world wars and 3 revolutions, all in the 20th century. Throughout this course, we will consider the solutions that Chinese people themselves have attempted for very difficult problems, and what those continuing challenges mean for the world today. While our focus is mainland China, we will also discuss the culture and society of "Greater China": Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Chinese Americans.
