In addition to lectures and discussions, many topics will include field trips to sites around Beijing where students can observe contemporary Beijing first-hand. The course will include lectures, discussions, guest speakers, and site visits. (Beijing, China, http://www.allianceglobaled.org/beijing.html) AUC Designation: Ss
