This course explores socio-cultural, political, and commercial aspects of the first century of U.S. contact with China. Drawing upon a series of case studies, the course maps the shifting relationship between China and the United States from earliest contact to China’s Republican Revolution. Selected topics will consider both American experiences in China and Chinese experiences in the U.S. to question how Sino-American encounters redefined both parties’ understandings of ‘Empire,’ Chinese sovereignty, the United States’ place in the world. Students will have the opportunity to explore multiple themes including: mobility and migration, gender and identity, transculturation, race, colonialism, anti-imperialism and nationalism.

This course focuses on some of the fundamental assumptions and questions in contemporary psychology. It begins with a discussion of psychological methods as forms of social practice, and the resulting product/knowledge of these practices as situated within a socio-historical context. We then discuss the importance of metaphor, and language in general, for psychological description and explanation, and the historicity this language displays. These issues lead to a review of the most foundational challenge to contemporary psychology: its reception of and reaction to postmodernism. This includes readings and discussion on social constructionist thought, feminist epistemologies, critical psychology, hermeneutics, and qualitative (vs. quantitative) research. The last portion of the course is devoted to student seminars, where students select a topic from class discussion and develop a presentation. Three hours a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 409
