Overview
“Chinese Society and Culture” is an interdisciplinary Discovery that combines approaches from the humanities, social science, the sciences, and business to study one of the most dynamic cultural areas of the world. The courses offer both general historical contexts and discipline-specific training to help students develop crucial understanding of the diverse traditions and contemporary transformations of Chinese-speaking countries of the world. The Discovery also prepares students to reexamine other societies and cultures from a comparative perspective. Professors teaching these courses are experts in their own disciplines with linguistic and cultural competencies that can be shared with their students both within and outside the classroom.
