Section Information for Fall 2015

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 late seventeenth century.  The course is primarily intended to help students gain a fuller understanding of the political, socio-economic, and cultural changes in “traditional” (or later imperial) China (200-1800). This course will also challenge the stereotype of a monolithic and static "traditional China" by encouraging students to develop a more critical and complicated understanding of the diverse historical forces that helped to both integrate and divide that entity we often refer to as “China.”
