    China Starter Pack Online Workshop Series

    Presenter: Jonathan Lipman, Professor Emeritus of History and Asian Studies, Mount Holyoke College
    Dates and Time: Wednesday Oct. 12, 19, 26, Nov. 2; 6:30-8:30pm ET
    Topics (one week each): geography, language(s), food, and current issues (including US-China relations)
    The two-hour synchronous online sessions will be interactive, and after each session participants will be invited to reflect on what they learned through asynchronous online forum posts.

    Participants should plan to spend about 3 hours per week on the synchronous sessions, short required readings, and online forum posts. Supplemental readings will be available for those who would like to learn more about each topic. Participants who complete the requirements for all four sessions will receive a copy of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know (Wasserstrom and Cunningham), a certificate of completion for 12 contact hours, and a $50 participation stipend. (Must be a US citizen or permanent resident to receive the stipend.)

    Although designed for those with little to no knowledge of China, these presentations will also offer those with experience learning and teaching about China new ways of thinking about the topics. Registration closes Oct. 5.
