Asian Studies
HSA1000 Asian Interconnections
This module adopts a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the study of Asia and its regions. It will expose students to diverse perspectives and challenges that affect Singapore and other Asian societies such as ethnic and religious diversity, colonial histories, environmental change and social inequalities. The module equips students with conceptual and methodological tools to understand regional production in Asia. It emphasizes group work as well as experiential learning through field studies at various sites in Singapore. Students will leave the module with a deep appreciation of the social, political and cultural diversity in Asia, as well as the critical skills in thinking, reading, listening, and self-expression they need to succeed in future courses at the university.
For more information, see the course's Canvas page (for enrolled students), or NUSMods.
