Scope: Emily Mokros: Confucius Institute Curriculum Development Grant

The new “Late Imperial China” course, which will cover China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, will substantially expand student exposure to China in the undergraduate history curriculum. Incorporating the RTTP role-playing game at the beginning of the semester will increase student retention and participation in the course, as well as student interest in subsequent iterations of the course. The RTTP curriculum will help students engage directly with the ideas and concepts that were so important to politics and culture in late imperial China. Students will be prepared to take more advanced courses in Chinese history and language, and engage more deeply with the history of the premodern past.
