This five-week travel study program will provide a thematic overview of post-1949 society, economy, and politics in China, with an emphasis on the drastic economic, social, and cultural changes in Ghuangzhou, known as China's southern gateway to the world. Through the lens of cutting-edge sociological theories and qualitative methods, you will examine the causes and consequences of social transformation, market transition, globalization, and migration. The program combines with intensive reading, classroom lectures/discussions, and field trips and gives you an excellent understanding of 21st-century China (see attached syllabi of SOC181 and SOC180C).
