Issues as diverse as race, cultural identity, gender, the new spirituality, formal theology, syncretism, and unbelief will all be covered in this course.

#### History 4292-M50 - Yan Gao MODERN CHINA

Online Assuming no prior knowledge with the history or culture of China, this course examines the history of China from 1600s onwards. We focus on its social dynamics, cultural traditions, and interrelationships among social groups, as well as scholarly interpretations on modern China. Some important topics include: the rise and fall of the Qing dynasty, Western imperialism and internal social disorders during the nineteenth century, party rifts and world wars during the brief Republican period (the first half of the twentieth century), the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution of Mao's regime, and the post-Mao economic developments up to the Olympic Games of 2008 in Beijing. We pay special attention to the changes and continuities of traditional Chinese society in the modern world. We mainly use academic books and scholarly articles, but occasionally we use auxiliary materials such as films and novels for further understanding of various themes.
