Narratives of China's Environment: Crisis, Hope and the Spatiality of Blame
The East Asian Studies DUG is currently looking for students to join its leadership!
We seek to build a home-like environment for concentrators, students taking EAS classes and faculty members and to actively promote awareness of the histories, cultures and socio-political issues of East Asia. If you are someone who shares a similar vision and wants contribute to this program, join us! Students in lower semester levels and non-concentrators are highly welcome!We will be thrilled to have your different, insightful perspectives.
'A Thematic Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese is a real breakthrough in the field of Chinese dictionaries. In addition to the thematic classification, which is very convenient to use, one of the great qualities of this dictionary is to indicate the meaning of each character, unlike dictionaries published in China, and thus to respect the ideographic nature of Chinese writing. This will be much appreciated by Chinese learners!'
