Course Description

How can we understand social realities that transcend territorial boundaries? How is the study of the region itself part of the region's story? This course explores these and related questions through Inner Northeast Asia, the borderland region that stretches between Russia, China, Mongolia, and Korea. Through selections from English language scholarship and translations of primary sources, this introduction to a region shaped by multiple legacies of imperial rule offers a chance to reflect on the limits of nation-states. No background knowledge or languages other than English are required.
