Maggie Clinton

Very very nice course. Super structured and the students actually do the readings. Would def recommend. Take it with Maggie Clinton tho. (I wish midd courses stop making us do mandatory reviews with a word count)

Professor Clinton and Professor Mao are very passionate about the material of this course and work well together. The class only meets once a week for 2-3 hours, so there are a lot of readings. You should really try to understand the readings when writing about them on the discussion board (it is required that you do this 4 times during the semester), being a discussion leader with 1-2 classmates, and writing papers. The professors are very chill and adaptable.

The class is 90% discussion based. It’s probably a good idea to have some background in Chinese and Japanese history because not much is provided. The class is sort of a mix of economics, colonialism, and labor philosophy.
