CS5081 INTRODUCTION TO KOREA STUDIES

Introduction to Korea Studies provides the students a solid foundation for developing a sophisticated understanding of the dynamics that have shaped Korea and its relationship to the world. You will learn the dynamics of Korean history, culture, and society which placed the country in the changing global landscape in the contemporary world. Through readings, discussions, various multimedia sources, weekly lectures, and guest talks, our goal is to develop a broad and balanced understanding of contemporary Korea, its culture and society, and most importantly its people in both regional and international contexts. It is not necessary for you to have prior knowledge of Korea and Korean language.
