A detailed survey of China's late imperial, or early modern, period, which encompassed the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1636-1911) dynasties. During this period the population of imperial China tripled, and the territory controlled doubled, creating an important legacy for the Peoples Republic of China today. The course will cover a broad range of issues from state institutions and elite power, to popular culture and peasant revolt. We will also consider how the Ming and the Qing dynasties interacted with other parts of the world at various times, how these interactions affected the course of Chinas history, and how the history of this period contributed to shaping modern China.

South Asia refers to the region inclusive of modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It might seem arbitrary at first glance, however, these countries have overlapping histories, religions and cultures that connect them together. In order to understand the political and cultural histories of the region, it is important to trace the regions thrust into the global order in the last 150 years with British colonial rule and the nationalist resistance to it. This course will begin with the 1857 revolt against British imperial power on the Indian subcontinent and end with reflections on the politics and culture in the region, with a focus on the contemporary states of India and Pakistan and to a lesser degree Afghanistan and Bangladesh. We will use a wide variety of sources from contemporary documentaries, fiction, and journalistic accounts of South Asian politics and society.
