‘Making of Modern China’ Seminar Visits Chinese House in Salem
On October 13, 2016, members of the History Seminar “The Making of Modern China” (HI 487; instructor Professor Eugenio Menegon) visited the Yin Yu Tang Chinese traditional house at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem (http://www.pem.org/sites/yinyutang/). The trip was an occasion to discuss the topic of family structure and gender relations in late imperial China. The fieldtrip was closed by a nice dinner in Chinatown, and was supported by a CAS Academic Enhancement Fund grant.
