Description
Discover the dramatic, ongoing changes taking place in Chinese society and learn to convey their pace, scale and implications to your students.
Since Mao’s death and Deng Xiaoping’s nationwide experiment with “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” Chinese society has gone through dramatic changes. How can we wrap our heads around these ongoing changes, and then convey the pace, scale and implications to our students? How can we explore global themes such as nationalism, migration, urbanization, economic development, civil society, and sustainability, using China as an example? See the application for a more detailed description.
