Modern Chinese Culture and History

Over four classes, you will learn the fundamentals of modern history and culture in the People's Republic of China. We will begin with an overview of the culture of China and how diverse the nation and peoples of China are. The next two courses will emphasize the events in China from the late 19th century to the present, with an investigation into events that have shaped the country into what it is today. The final class will be an experiential learning opportunity with calligraphy and watercolors using traditional Chinese inks and brushes.
