This course exposes students to multiple perspectives on China. Scholars in diverse disciplines share their expertise and experiences on topics related to China's history, society, economy, and culture.

Artists, entrepreneurs, activists, scientists and community leaders have responded to uncertain futures, turning points, and challenges in innovative ways. This course will use comparative global case studies to explore the personal character and social clarity that is built by adversity, analyzing how unprecedented conditions foster new paradigms. Guest speakers will offer insight into key turning points and contemporary challenges, and students will apply developing skills to addressing a problem they identify in the current moment of transition.
