Space is still open for our Spring 2015 course, ASIA 4300: Introduction to Modern Asia! This is an interdisciplinary Asian Studies course that looks at the idea of Asia as a coherent entity and at the ways in which Asia is increasinlgy knit together and integrated into global economic and political systems. Students will discuss how Asia is a constructed idea that has been shaped, and been shaped by, global patterns of economic development, nation and state building, war and diplomacy, and aspirations of justic, prosperity, and human well-being.

This course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 until 4:45 p.m. Although the credit is for Asian Studies, it is a course that is relevant to students studying anthropology, Asian languages and civilizations, Asian studies, geography, history, international affairs, political science, religious studies, and sociology.
