Home to much of the world's population, China is already the subject nine Core courses. And this year, a tenth--Historical Studies A-77, "The Emergence of Modern China, ca. 1600-2000"--has been added to the list.

The course is offered by Philip A. Kuhn, Higginson professor of history and East Asian languages and civilizations, who also teaches one other historical study course.

"It's a fascinating subject because China is different, but also because their concerns are so familiar to us in certain ways," Kuhn says. "Talking about these issues reflects on our understanding of our own way of life and government."

One of the major goals of this course, Kuhn says, is to use Chinese history to understand current developments.
