HIS 454 - China and the Outside World Credits: 3

Investigates China’s relations with the outside world during its pre-modern history. Since China is somewhat geographically isolated from the rest of Eurasia, historians have tended to assume Chinese civilization is mostly the product of indigenous developments. The course challenges this assumption by looking at how China and people outside of its borders have influenced each other.

Prerequisite(s): HIS 105 or HON 122 or permission of instructor.
