Spring Course Offering: CCAS Dean’s Scholars in Globalization
Anthropology 3705.10, Contemporary Chinese Culture & Society
This course examines the ongoing social, economic, and political transformation of China through an anthropological lens. More specifically, we will read, watch, think about, analyze, discuss and write about a selection of recent ethnographies, research essays, and films that take as their subject ‘China’. Our purpose is to understand how the revolutionary transformation of everyday life in China since the 1980s has affected the lived experiences of citizens. As part of this course, the class will travel as a group to Beijing over Spring Break, March 11th-19th. Travel costs will be subsidized by CCAS.
This course has no pre-requisites. However, enrollment is capped at fifteen and is limited to ESIA and CCAS students. In addition, an interview with the instructor is required. For more information, contact Prof. Robert Shepherd at rshepher@gwu.edu.
