Modern Chinese History: From May Fourth to June Fourth

This online seminar, led by Dr. Elise Huerta, is an introductory overview of modern Chinese history. Class meetings will include a lecture component that provides a “lightning round” survey of major events in the twentieth century as well as a discussion component during which participants will be invited to share their questions and reflections. In addition to the textbook (David Kenley’s Modern Chinese History), the course will introduce short supplementary cultural texts that are suitable for adoption in secondary school classrooms.
