Join historian and teacher Bram Hubble for a discussion on China and Europe from 1500 to 2000 and consider the question, what is "modern"? This content challenges the conventional historical storyline that China was "stagnant" and economic "modernization" began as a "reaction" to the Western initiatives in the late 1800s, specifically after the Opium War with England.
Participants are asked to review the module ahead of the session in preparation for Q&A and discussion of teaching approaches: China & Europe 1500-2000 and Beyond: What is “Modern”?
