GC 253 - Malaysia’s Modernity

Credits: 3

Examine and experience Malaysia’s unique brand of modernity, which is the result of a national push towards fully developed nation status. Technologically advanced, yet steeped in diverse traditional beliefs, Malaysia is the ideal place to study a modern, non-western culture through an exploration of the diverse and often contrasting beliefs and values, a task made easier by the fact that English is widely spoken and western ways are well-accepted. This three-credit course includes an optional two-week trip to Malaysia at an extra fee.
