In the west, we often think of China as going through a period of \u201crising,\u201d or a transitionary phase on its path to becoming a major world power. However, with centuries of development, China has long been a source of religious, political, and social norms, not to mention technological innovation. This course seeks to offer students a more accurate understanding of modern China, one that is rooted in its long history and as a country with an ancient civilization now seeking its identity in the 21st\u00a0century.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">To understand these \u201ctwo Chinas\u201d\u2014the ancient and the modern\u2014we will visit historic sites, museums, as well as modern infrastructures. We will explore what makes China an industrial giant by visiting industrial districts and then contemplating the social and environmental consequences of such rapid and extensive modernization processes. In an opportunity to engage with the local people, students will spend 10 days on a home-stay program in Chengdu, living with a local family and attending classes at Chadianzi Elementary School. You will also be paired up with a local college student from Sichuan University for cultural and linguistic exchanges. At the end of the 4 week program, you should have a better understanding of modern China, its domestic strengths and challenges, and its rapidly changing place in the world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Dates: May 13-June 8, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Estimated total cost (all expenses included) will be less than $5,000<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #7a9c16\"><strong>Financial Support<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Financial support from Berea College is available for\u00a0any major\u00a0to cover a portion of the cost\u00a0 of a summer abroad.\u00a0\u00a0<a title=\"Financial Support\" href=\"https:\/\/legacy.berea.edu\/cie\/financial-support\/\">Find out more inf<\/a><a title=\"Financial Support\" href=\"https:\/\/legacy.berea.edu\/cie\/financial-support\/\">ormation on how to obtain financial support.<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">A<\/span><strong> CIE scholarship<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">,<\/span><\/span> which covers <strong><span style=\"color: #993300\">1\/3<\/span> <\/strong>of the total cost, is available.
