Second Semester 2016  (30 points)

Mondays 9:00 - 11:30

Course Convenor: Professor Paul Clark

This small-group discussion course focuses particularly on developments since the 1960s in China, with an emphasis on social change and its manifestations in films and popular culture.  But we start in the 1930s, a time of cultural foment that can be compared with the 1980s.  Students each week read chapters and articles and watch films for discussion in class.  Coursework includes a research bibliography, leading a class discussion one week, and a course essay in an area of your own interest.  Coursework is equivalent to 10,000 words.

Scholarship support, in the form of course fees being paid, may be available, making this course free for students.
