ASIA聽2000 (3) Gateway to Modern Asia: Exploring Regional Connections
Lauren Collins, PhD.
This course explores Asia as more than a place on a map鈥攊t's an idea, a vision that has evolved over time, influencing and being influenced by the world's major events.聽 From the rise and fall of empires, the marks left by colonialism, to the challenges of building nations, responding to a changing climate, and the universal quest for a better life, this course uncovers the stories and connections that have shaped Asia and its role on the global stage.聽聽 We will present Asia as a concept, a powerful imaginary geography, and a historically dynamic construct.
