Paper Description
The object of this paper is to explore traditional and contemporary aspects of Chinese and Japanese history, society and culture. The paper examines key features of China's and Japan's social and cultural development, as well as some of the historical, cultural and trading interconnections between the two countries, and with the rest of the world. It looks at the relationship between mainstream and minority cultures in the two societies, as well as the multi-faceted links (family, marriage, work, trade) with New Zealand, and with Maori.
Paper Structure
Due to lectures continuing to be taught online during B trimester, weekly topics will be presented via a mixture of Panopto recordings and Powerpoint. These materials will normally be posted on Thursday or Friday of each week, apart from Week One, when they will be made available at the beginning of the week. Students will then have until Wednesday of the following week to prepare for their tutorial.
Students will be notified via Moodle when new materials have been posted.
Students who cannot physically attend face-to-face tutorials can join via Zoom during tutorial sessions.
Note: tutorials will be altered to be delivered online if Alert Levels rise again.
