 urse on An Unwieldy Region
DESCRIPTION: The written word is an essential source for our study of the p
 ast\, yet it is easy to forget that it always took a material form that det

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>With: Dr. Christina Laffin\, Dr. Bruce Rus
 k\, Dr. Adheesh Sathaye</p><p>The written word is an essential source for o
 ur study of the past\, yet it is easy to forget that it always took a mater
 ial form that determined how it existed in the world and how people interac
 ted with it. In this presentation\, three faculty members discuss the chall
 enges of using the history of the book the basis for an introductory course
  on Asian culture that covers diverse regions and periods. We will reflect 
 on how developing a syllabus together creates opportunities for reflection 
 on our own fields and for finding new connections that will help students a
 ppreciate the complex background of the books they read.</p><h3><a href="ht
