Juliet Paulson: Princeton US-China Coalition
|
Juliet Paulson, a CFS student majoring in History, Anthropology, and Asian Languages and Literatures, was nominated as a delegate at the 2019 Princeton U.S.-China Coalition's Global Governance Forum. Uniting the most promising student leaders across the world on Princeton's campus, PUCC seeks to create a transnational coalition of student leaders poised to face the issues at the forefront of US-China policy.
Reflecting on this experience, Juliet said, “Attending the Princeton U.S.-China Coalition's Global Governance Forum gave me the opportunity to meet other students from across the world who are equally concerned about recent trends in the relationship between the U.S. and China. I was happy to learn from both my peers and the guest speakers, and to engage in the type of cross-cultural dialogues that I hope will help us create a better future for both nations.”

This semester, students have the opportunity to take two classes taught by Flagship Program director Professor Ning Ma: “Introduction to Classical Chinese Language and Culture” and “Martial Arts in Chinese Literature and Film.” The Classical Chinese course focuses on classical texts and poetry, allowing students to gain a new awareness of the beauty and distinctiveness of the Chinese language through reading and recitation. The course will culminate in a performance project, “The Classical Chinese Heritage: A Cross-Cultural Journey,” funded by CLA’s Teaching Innovation Grant.
The course “Martial Arts in Chinese Literature and Film” focuses on exploring martial arts as a cultural and literary motif. The course will build conversation around the Daoist and Confucian philosophies underlying martial arts, and the social commentary martial arts literature provides across different time periods. Although the class itself will be taught using literature and film in translation, a 1-credit online course is offered for students of sufficient Chinese proficiency using the original materials.

本学期，学生有机会选修领航项目主任马宁教授的两门课程：“中国古典语言与文化概论”和“中国文学与电影中的武侠文化”。 中国古典语言课程以文言文和诗歌为重点，让学生通过阅读和背诵对汉语的美和独特性产生新的认识。该课程将以由文理学院教学创新基金所资助的“中国古典文化遗产：跨文化之旅” 的表演项目作为结束。
“中国文学与电影中的武侠文化”这门课程探索武侠叙事的文化及文学含义。该课程将围绕武侠作品的道家和儒家哲学背景展开讨论，并探讨武侠作品在不同历史时期的社会功能。尽管该课程使用文学作品和电影的翻译版本进行教学，具有足够汉语水平的学生们也可通过一个1学分的相关在线课程学习中文原文材料。
