Taiwan Society<\/p>\n
JSIS 583A, Autumn 2016<\/p>\n
As a case of rapid social change, evolving identity, and transition from<\/p>\n
authoritarian to democratic rule, Taiwan is of unusual interest to the<\/p>\n
social sciences. Using recent scholarship, as well as film and fiction, this<\/p>\n
course will inquire how Taiwanese identity was forged, how family and<\/p>\n
social structure have changed, and how Taiwan\u2019s economy and politics<\/p>\n
give it an out-sized role in the future of East Asia.<\/p>\n
Taiwan Society (JSIS 583A) is a special topics course that will meet<\/p>\n
Mondays 1:30-4:20. Open to graduates and undergraduates.<\/p>\n
