EAS1032   Understanding Japan 2   (20 credits)

Description

This module explores what it means to study Japan at university level, and considers how 'area studies' research on Japan fits within a discipline such as history or cultural studies. We will work on a combination of new and established research to explore one core topic. We will consider how studies of Japan are built, how researchers use primary evidence in text and/or images to understand change; how to navigate key debates in a field and evaluate competing arguments. You will finish this module with a deep understanding of our core topic and research, critical and writing skills that you can apply and develop in further study.
