View Academic Calendar
This course examines Southeast Asia as an historical and cultural area through the 20th century. Students compare and contrast Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Brunei and distinguish different socio-political systems and development levels, geographical conditions, cultural origins, values, and interests in national independence. Special emphasis is on the cultural patterns in the formation of Southeast Asia nations, including traditional notions of authority, political and cultural identity, state-society relations, and regionalism.
