Students can supplement their language studies with an online Southeast Asian Studies course: “Rice, Trade and Empire: An overview of Southeast Asia.”
This 1-credit online course provides an introduction to the cultures, economies and governments of 11 Southeast Asian countries. The focus will be on how, from ancient times, Southeast Asian civilizations have been shaped by far-ranging trade, highly productive wet-rice agriculture, and the building of empires, both indigenous and foreign. Each student will be assigned one country on which to focus in-depth.
