HIST 353-001: History of Traditional China
(Spring 2012)

03:00 PM to 04:15 PM MW

Section Information for Spring 2012

In this course we will explore the history of China from the disintegration of the Han empire at the turn of the third century (200 CE) to the establishment of the Qing empire in the seventeenth century. The course is primarily intended to help students gain a fuller understanding of the political, socio-economic, and cultural changes in later imperial China (200-1700). This course also challenges the stereotype of a monolithic and static China by encouraging students to develop a more critical and complicated understanding of the historical forces integrating and dividing the entity we call "China."
