This course is about the people, peoples, and polities, as well as the ecological and environmental factors, that have turned the space that Xinjiang occupies into the place of Xinjiang today. The course design will be modular. Units address key archaeological sites, explore histories of excavation, and explain how the on-going \u201cunearthing\u201d of Xinjiang makes it one of the most complex places in the world today.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F5F3EE” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#E4D4C8″ border_radii=”on|27px|27px|27px|27px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”I Got One” button_url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h1″ header_font=”|800|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#A47551″ header_font_size=”29px” use_background_color=”off” custom_margin=”60px||||false|false” custom_padding=”55px||32px||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|27px|27px|27px|27px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” image=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/globalasiainitiative\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/\u626blogo-Tony-Kinninger-250×250-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” image_icon_custom_margin=”20px||-10px||false|false” text_orientation=”center” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” border_radii_image=”on|27px|27px|27px|27px” box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”A shared online think tank for Chinese characters” url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_padding=”|30px|||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.i-got-one.org\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n NYU Abu Dhabi’s Global Asia Initiative was a proud sponsor (AY 21-22) of this crowd-sourcing website, which collects and shares learners’ strategies in studying Chinese characters. In addition to the orthodox method of analyzing the semantic and\/or phonetic parts of a character, it provides a virtual space which allows innovative methods from the learners’ perspectives that often closely related to comparative insights into their first languages, diverse cultural backgrounds, individual’s intercultural experiences, and knowledge from cross-disciplinary interactions, etc. In its three years of piloting, it received more than 2,500 contributions from over 200 learners.<\/p>\n
