HIS 272Y - Intensive Course Abroad (5 Cr.) (LER - SA)
Course includes a three-week intensive course abroad in the winter or summer accompanied by a seven-week pre-departure preparation or post-departure discussion, or both in the fall and spring.
The Past in the Present from Tokyo to Taipei (5)
By visiting sites in Japan and Taiwan, this course will give students the opportunity to directly experience and assess how past histories of imperialism, occupation, and war influence the world of the present. We will seek to understand how Japan’s history of imperial expansion and occupation, and Taiwan’s experience of colonization by Japan and rule by China, are remembered today, and how they have shaped contemporary relations between Taiwan and Japan, and between both places and the United States. This course comprises both a pre-course to be held in the spring before departure (2 credits), and the three-week program overseas following spring commencement (3 credits). The pre-course is mandatory for all students who are on campus. Offered 2016 and alternate years. Dawley and White.
