East Asia is vital to our global economy and rapidly changing American society. We need to understand this region more than ever to be the best possible global citizens in the 21st century. This course introduces the modern histories of China, Korea, and Japan from 1600 to the present. Enemies, friends, imitators, and innovators: the countries of East Asia have played all of these roles. The samurai, imperialism in Asia, the Chinese Revolution, and the Korean War are just a few of the topics we will explore. This course is the companion to “HIS 185: East Asia to 1600,” but does not require any prerequisites--just bring your curiosity.

King Arthur and Robin Hood, though so popular a feature of our culture that we almost take them as 'givens,' in fact we pay serious study about them. Medieval stories can inform us about kingship, ideas of chivalry, socio-economic functioning of early legal systems. This course looks at such early stories within the contact of their historical periods.

The course approaches The Divine Comedy both as a poetic masterpiece and as an encyclopedia of medieval culture. Through a close textual analysis of selected cantos from Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, students learn how to approach poetry as a vehicle for thought, an instrument of self-discovery, and a way to understand and affect the world. They also gain a perspective on the Biblical, Christian, and Classical traditions as they intersect with the multiple levels of Dante's concern ranging from literature to history, from politics to government, from philosophy to theology. Class format includes lectures and discussion. Intensive class participation is encouraged. No prerequisites.
