Due to the COVID-19 crisis, as was in the last year, this Graduate School seminar class will be conducted online for Spring Semester 2021. Because of the inclusion of the HIPS program students, we have students from more diverse backgrounds than last year, including Australia, Azerbaijan, China, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Philippines, Portugal, and Japan. We will read some chapters from a history textbook on Southeast Asia and discuss a number of topics to deepen our understanding of the history, culture, and people of Southeast Asia.
The assigned textbook is:
- Milton Osborne. Southeast Asia: An Introductory History. 12th ed. Allen & Unwin, 2016.
The book is available in both paperback and Kindle editions at amazon.com and amazon.co.jp. A new 13th edition will be published in September 2021 (amazon.com and amazon.co.jp).
We will read chapter 5 The European Advance in Challenge and onwards in the following weeks. In the meantime, however, we discuss the climate, geographical setting, and people of Southeast Asia to consolidate and share our understanding of the basics of the region.
