Dr. Colleen Berry
“Introduction to Modern Asia” is an interdisciplinary Asian Studies course that looks at the idea of Asia as a coherent entity and at the ways in which Asia is increasingly knit together and integrated into global economic and political systems. We will discuss how Asia is a constructed idea that has been shaped, and been shaped by, global patterns of economic development, nation and state building, war and diplomacy, and aspirations of justice, prosperity, and human well-being.
Additionally, we would like to draw your attention to other courses that are being offered outside of the Asian Studies Program. All of these courses can be counted towards the Asian Studies major.
