About HST 1440 A
An introductory survey of the history of Chinese and Japanese civilizations from their Neolithic origins until the twentieth century.
Notes
Open to Degree and PACE students
Section Description
This course is a broad introduction to major topics and significant themes in East Asian history with a primary focus on places we now call China and Japan. Significantly, we will explore the history of both from a comparative perspective that stresses the impact and influence of each society on the other, an approach that help us transcend the intellectual limitations imposed by the political boundaries of the modern nation-state. In doing so, we will interrogate problems of knowledge and representation relevant to anyone desiring a complex and compassionate understanding of our shared human past. Moreover, through the exploration, analysis, and interpretation of primary source historical materials (written documents, visual art, literature, physical structures, material artifacts, etc.), students will practice fundamental skills related to historical thinking.
Evaluation
