History 117–Chinese Cities

The first-year seminar introduces students to urban history in China and Chinese communities around the world. We will explore major cities along the Silk Road, ports of call with Chinese business communities, centers of revolutionary activity, and urban sprawls in modern China. We examine how cities supported massive populations with limited resources, inspired new forms of social organization, and transformed China’s political and economic order. We will be exploring major collections of artifacts on Chinese cities on campus and in Middletown. Students will visit the Wesleyan Archaeology and Anthropology Collection, Special Collections and Archives at the Wesleyan Library, and the Middlesex County Historical Society.
