To that end, it introduces students both to general trends in the relevant literature from the history of science and technology and adjacent social sciences as well as to various types of primary sources that can serve as the foundation for a scholarly contribution. Advanced proficiency in the Chinese language and some basic familiarity with the history of modern China required.
