SOCI 21900 - Globalization & Contemporary ChinaCourse Credit: 1 (ANTH, CHIN, EAST) GLOBALIZATION AND CONTEMPORARY CHINA An exploration of the social causes, including globalization, and consequences of the economic, cultural, and social changes that China is undergoing today. Following a roughly chronological order, we will focus mainly on events and trends of the past twenty years: from the social movements of 1989 and the economic expansion of the early 1990s to the consequent changes in a consumer-driven popular culture, as well as renewed quests for moral and religious meaning and emerging social activism (e.g., the environment, women’s rights, etc.). Prerequisite(s): SOCI-10000; or permission of instructor [C, HSS]
