授業概要   Course Description What does “East Asia” mean? Is East Asia merely a geographical construct? Is it a cultural interconnected unit that has been made up of nations which share roots in a common premodern civilization? Based on these questions, the themes in this course include the evolution of East Asia’s relationship with the Western world; the Chinese-Japanese relationship; transformation and conservatism in cultural identity and social values; and tensions between colonialism, nationalism, and independence.

In this course, we will explore these questions and themes, by studying and tracing the histories of Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan from the 18th Century to the present. It examines the struggles of these four countries to preserve or regain their independence and establish their national identities in a rapidly emerging and often violent modern world order.

Finally, we will conclude the course by considering what “East Asia” has come to mean in the two decades since the years 1987-89, a pivotal turning point in the histories of Japan, South Korea and China as well as for the region at large.
到達目標   Class Goals This course aims to provide a survey of the modern history of East Asia as a basis for understanding the broader change and development of the modern world. At the end of the semester students who actively participate in the class should have a broad understanding of East Asian history - key events and ideas - and its engagement with modernity.

Students will also learn to think critically and comparatively about historical events in East Asia, and understand historical themes, causes and effects. I believe it is also important for the students to develop knowledge and an opinion. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and many of these issues re-surface, I aim for the students to leave this course with an ability to effectively communicate and voice opinions in a productive and kind way - on how the past affects the present and how they can play a part in contributing to the betterment of society.

Evaluation Criteria
A. Active class participation: 20 % of grade

In order to ensure that students actively do the readings, learning activities for this class are mainly structured around in-class discussions and debates. In every class we will have an open discussion of the material . This is also to encourage critical thinking and to build analytical skills with your peers.

I will also utilize Pop Quizzes - examples include geographic pop quizzes and culture and history quizzes - that cover readings and course content. These can and will be held any time during the class without prior notice. If you do the reading regularly and actively participate in the class lecture and discussion, you should get them right. The quizzes are mainly designed to test whether you did the reading and took time to reflect on questions before coming to the class.

B. Movie Review: 15 %

We will be watching the movie My Way, directed by Kang Je-gyu.
You will be required to write a short reort 300-400 words (Times New Roman, font size 12, 1.5 spacing) assesing the movie.

C. Group presentation: 30% of grade

You will undertake a fun and exciting group assignement - which consists of giving a presentation on deisgnated class dates. This will involve conducting the research, and then making the presentation as a group. Using powerpoint for your presentations is encouraged to present your arguments and findings in class.

Depending on the number of students, each group will consist of five to six students and will be assigned a country case study.

D. Final Research paper: 35% of grade

Each student is required to submit a final research paper.

Consistent citations are required - in the first session I will provide an explanation and guide to choosing and following a particular citation style.
