Cynthia Gao

Gender and sexuality in asia america is one of the more meaningful classes I've taken at midd. It felt like a great synthesis of lecture and discussion on a foundation of important readings. Prof Gao is clearly very intelligent and passionate about the material and led great discussions.

I thought this class was super engaging. I liked how this class also functioned semi-like a history class where we had lectures after the readings, to build background information, but then we were able to discuss.

This course consisted of weekly 1-2 double-spaced page response posts to a question Professor Gao asked, in-class whole group discussions, and an in-class blue book essay midterm. The course required a decent amount of reading and we were tested on the information during the in-class midterm. For the final essay, you had to analyze a primary source and connect it to the course material.
