University of Washington NCTA 2020 Summer Institute in Seattle, WA: 20th and 21st Centuries East Asian Legacies and Futures

20th and 21st Centuries East Asian Legacies and Futures

University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

Monday, July 13 to Friday, July 17, 2020.

Description

20th and 21st Centuries East Asian Legacies and Futures will explore the events of this time from the perspective of artists and writers of China, Korea, and Japan. Throughout this period of upheaval and moments of relative peace, producers of culture have been employed, mobilized, and inspired to communicate the ever-changing political, economic, and social landscape of East Asia. This summer program will focus on the cultural, social, and political histories of East Asia as told by visual and literary artists of the past and present. We will examine primary and secondary source documents, while also discussing how to incorporate related curricula into your classroom.

Course material will include primary and secondary source materials, art historical approaches, in addition to resources for inclusion in the classroom. No prior knowledge of the subject matter is required.

This seminar is sponsored by the East Asia Resource Center (EARC), University of Washington, in conjunction with the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA).
