Korean History(Ancient-19Cent)

Catalog description

This is the first course of a three-part Korean history sequence and covers the time period from ancient Korea until the late 19th Century. Rather than a simple history, this course seeks to understand the ways in which the people on and around the Korean peninsula lived and interacted with neighboring cultures. Particular focus will be given to the governing structures, worldviews, and life practices that allowed the development of what today is called “Korean” culture.
