The Hanyang University International Summer Campus is intended for both visiting International students and Korean students. Coursework in English is offered in a variety of fields and students in any major area are welcome to participate. Many of the faculty come from well-known and respected institutions in the United States. Students select two courses to take during the four-week program - one course taught by a Binghamton Faculty member and one other course of the student's choosing. Each class meets for 3 hours each day, either in the morning from 9am-12pm or 1pm-4pm, with an extra session from 4:00pm-7pm.
The following courses are offered by Binghamton Faculty (*you must choose at least one):
HIST 386U/AAAS 384S Gender, Race & Empire in Asia
Professor Elisa Camiscioli
This course examines the themes of gender, race, sexuality, and empire in Asia with reference to modern European and Asian imperialist enterprises. Specific examples will be drawn from British India, French Indochina, Dutch Indonesia, the Japanese empire, and the U.S. colony of the Philippines. Using primary documents, interpretive histories, novels, and film, we will investigate a variety of salient topics including: intimacy, the family, and domestic life; imperial masculinity and femininity; interracial sex and mixed-raced offspring; medicine, sexology, and the policing of racial boundaries; prostitution, coercion, and memory.
AAAS 218/Linguistics 281A Structure of Korean (GenEd J)
Professor Sungdai Cho
This course will provide an overview of the structure of the Korean language and discuss the relevant analyses of a certain structure. Based on the readings of the text, we will discuss the adequacy of the analyses including the generalizations and consider expanded sets of data. This course touches on the general areas of Korean linguistics, from Korean language background to sociolinguistics. For each week, every student is required to complete the assigned readings specified in the syllabus and is encouraged to read the related literature if possible. Each student is strongly recommended to further investigate the issues before the class meetings and reach their own conclusions concerning the adequacy of the analyses presented in the books.
AAAS 439/LING 480E/AAAS 580E East Asian Linguistics (GenEd C)
Professor Sungdai Cho
This course aims to acquaint students with the linguistic characteristics of Chinese, Japanese and Korean through a survey of the sound, writing, grammatical systems, historical development, and social environments of these languages by comparing them with other languages, particularly with English. We will consider a wide array of phenomena in East Asian languages, focusing on how three languages are different in the choice of linguistic form. It also aims at a general understanding of linguistic structure of three languages, with emphasis on their relationship with English structure. Reading materials and lectures are in English.
The following courses are offered as choices for the second course:
