Subject:

Description:

This course provides students with an overview of the history of relations between Korea and Japan, and the cultural, social, political, and economic impact these close but often contentious "Asian neighbors" have had upon each other from ancient to modern times. Through extensive readings and class discussions, students will also gain a detailed understanding of the historiography of Korean-Japanese relations and the debates that still inform the ways the Japanese and Koreans-both North and South-view one another today. The course requires the production of a significant research paper on a topic to be decided upon in consultation with the instructor. No prior coursework in Korean or Japanese history is required, but students with no background in the histories of these countries will be asked to do additional reading to obtain a better understand of the historical contexts encountered in the regular reading 1.00 units, Lecture
