"Introduction to East Asian Studies" is an interdisciplinary course designed to expose students to various topics in East Asian Studies, as well as different intellectual approaches to the study of China, Japan, and Korea. We will look at history, philosophy, religion, politics, economics, art, literature and film. While it is of course impossible to explore all of these topics in detail in a single course, our goal is to help students appreciate East Asia, past and present. In all the topics that we explore, we will pay special attention to the global context of the history and culture of East Asia, and the role of China, Japan, and Korea in contemporary processes of globalization. The course will make use of the East Asian expertise of several Davidson College professors, who will give many of the lectures and presentations. All the papers and exams in the course will be designed and evaluated by the primary instructor, Professor Lozada.

In addition to class meetings, there will be a series of films related to East Asia and the course material that will be presented in the evenings; if you cannot attend these showings, the film will also be available in the library for a limited period of time.
