Explore the history of Shanghai over a 300-year-period and discover how this megalopolis has evolved over the years and will change again in this century. History 3798.03, an excursion during May Session 2016, will give students insight and historical perspective through classes at Shanghai's East China Normal University as well as by visiting major historical, architectural, transportation and urban planning venues in and around Shanghai. All instruction is in English.

The program is organized both chronologically and thematically and seeks a balance between detailed examination of particular defining moments and discussion of broad patterns of continuity and change across historical periods.
