Area Studies：Discover New Worlds
Programme Description
Our world is increasingly global and increasingly small. This five-day course introduces students to the study of several different regions of the world, including the Atlantic, Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia. Each of these regions has elements that are distinctive and elements which they share. We use the disciplines of history, literary studies, anthropology, cultural studies, and international relations, among others to understand them. This course assumes no previous background or knowledge about any of these regions. Students will encounter these regions through in-class exercises, discussion, lecture, and readings, learning to think more deeply about them.
