Instructor: V. Pollard
This course is a multidisciplinary examination of problems, trends and issues affecting people and institutions of contemporary East, Southeast and South Asia.
Using a variety of approaches and media, this course addresses issues of family, work, society, ethnic minorities, state, human rights, technology and economic change.
How will we do this? Students will be 1) reading an academic textbook, chapters from other relevant books, and current news reports; 2) listening to lectures; 3) viewing and discussing videos and DVDs according to an agenda set by viewing guides written for you; and 4) writing papers and answers to exam questions.
