Course Summary

What is the relationship between egalitarianism and the modern state? How did Chinese communism attempt to put the ideal of equality into practice, and what problems did it encounter at the grassroots level? How has China sought to address internal social inequalities? In the autumn semester, we will mainly read English-language literature and discuss the connections among communism, egalitarianism, and the modern state, as well as the challenges faced in implementing egalitarianism in China.

Course Description/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

Each class will be conducted by discussion. The weekly reading assignments will generally consist of two academic journal articles or two chapters from scholarly books (with higher expectations for graduate students). We will cover both theoretical literature on egalitarianism and the modern state, as well as foundational texts on modern Chinese history and area studies.Students are also encouraged to present their research.

This seminar aims to equip students with theoretical perspectives for analyzing issues related to China, and develop a deeper analytical understanding of Chinese society.
