Social Science

This elective class is designed to familiarize students with events and themes throughout East Asian History from the late 14th century to modern day. Students will be tasked with considering how ideas and institutions diffuse across national borders, and how these ideas and institutions are adapted, altered, and retransmitted back to the source of their origin. Students will utilize historical skills in order to conduct applied history with an emphasis on research to determine the best courses of action in the increasingly globalized and Eastern Hemisphere-focused world that they will likely experience in their lifetimes.
