HIS 507SEM - Asian Core

The Asian Core seminar is designed to introduce key themes and works in Asian history and give students the opportunity to explore and write about the literature on Asian historical issues that most interest them. It seeks to meet the needs of those who are preparing a major or minor field in these areas, those who are focusing on other world regions but realize they need to know something about Asia, those who are preparing to teach Asian or world history in primary and secondary schools, and/or those who are working on Asia in other disciplines and who need to deepen their understanding of the history of the region. It also provides an overview ofthe historical profession in the U.S. and around the world and how Asianists fit into it.
