Description<\/h2>\n

Since Mao\u2019s death and Deng Xiaoping\u2019s nationwide experiment with \u201csocialism with Chinese characteristics,\u201d China has become an increasingly complex and dynamic society. How can we integrate China into our teaching and situate China in a global context? How can we explore global themes such as nationalism, migration, urbanization, economic development, civil society, and sustainability, using China as an example? How do we support students to read behind the headlines, break down stereotypes and misconceptions, and distinguish between fact and opinion?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this seminar, we explored political, economic, social, and cultural themes that are emerging in 21st century China. Readings and resource discussions further enhanced our understanding of themes and also provide an avenue to explore individuals’ voices through primary sources and other teaching resources.<\/p>\n
