Flight and class information

We dedicate the first class meeting to visa applications and send them, bundled, to a consolidator. I urge everyone to attend this meeting to meet the group, the Study Abroad folk who have helped us, and to process the visas. For those enrolled over 2 credits, China Sampler meets on alternating Tuesdays from 3:30 - 6:15 PM in FAH Room 132.

1/10 - visa applications (Study Abroad folks will join us)
1/24 - TBA
2/07 - Taliesin Thomas, AW Asia - YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!!
She will speak on contemporary Chinese art.
2/21 - TBA
Beijing 3/8-3/17
3/27 - TBA
4/10 - Summary

We'll use the class time for lectures and discussion about China. For 2 credit extended studies students the class is optional; however, the lineup is compelling: Taliesin Thomas, Director, AW Asia New York (linked to the right), Shannon Bassett, Assistant Professor, USF Architecture, Jeanne Travers, USF Theatre & Dance and Kun Shi, Director of the USF Confucius Institute have agreed to visit our class and discuss their relationship to Chinese culture. Thomas will discus contemporary Chinese art; Bassett, her proposal for an exhibit and installation for the Hong-Kong Shenzhen biennale on urbanism/architecture debuting in February 2012, for which she will travel to China; Travers, Chinese dance traditions that she has studied and presented at Minzu University in Beijing, and Kun Shi, ethnic shamanism in China.

Stay tuned: reading film lists will be posted to Blackboard soon.

Have a wonderful break, everyone and do not hesitate to email with any questions or concerns here, or at efc@usf.edu.
