Current Programs
Summer 2024
Summer Institute. Women in Modern听East Asia: Understanding their Challenges and Successes. July 7-12, 2024. 澳门开奖结果2023开奖记录 campus. From the mid-19th century on, East Asian women鈥檚 lives have been marked by modernizations, imperialism, revolutions, warfare, and new roles in the workforce and within the family home. Women claimed their autonomies and rights through different avenues, be it liberalization, feminism, and the idea of the 鈥渘ew鈥� or 鈥渕odern鈥� woman. Various state initiatives uplifted and/or appropriated women, affecting their day-to-day lives. This institute offers secondary teachers the opportunity to work with scholars and specialists and investigate primary sources to better understand Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese women鈥檚 voices and experiences. What were their challenges and successes across time and place in modern East Asia? The institute is full and no longer accepting applications.
