Brief Description:
In this seminar we will focus on famous women in science and topics related specifically to women as members of
the scientific
community. We will become personally acquainted with famous women in science by learning about their
scientific
contributions and through reading their biographies. The personal lives of these famous women will give us a
glimpse into issues
that affect women in science. These include the under-representation of women in science, the culture of science,
work and
family, and political factors that impact participation of women in science. We will learn about these topics in
detail by studying
the findings of the US National Academy of Sciences and other organizations on factors that affect women in
science and
through discussing these topics from a variety of perspectives. This course is likely to deepen your knowledge of
famous women
scientists and their discoveries and lead to a realistic understanding of the barriers and challenges that women
scientists face at
the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Brief Description:
In this seminar we will focus on general principles of these common major diseases, autoimmunity and cancer. All
of these
medical problems are significantly affected by the immune system. This course will not cover basic mechanisms in
cellular
transformation leading to carcinogenesis. This course is intended for students that are not necessarily biology
majors but are
interested in a mechanistic overview of these diseases involving the immune system. Studies of these diseases will
be targeted to
outline the basic biologic mechanisms employed by the immune system. B and T lymphocytes employ distinct
mechanisms to
regulate tolerance or reactivity to self and these basic mechanisms will be examined. Comparisons of type 1
diabetes, lupus and
multiple sclerosis will made. It is clear that inflammation can significantly influence cancer progression. A current
understanding
of inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer as well as melanoma will focus on common immunologic
mechanisms.

Brief Description:
This course will introduce students to the basic concepts and organization of the immune system and the nature of
the responses
to infections. These concepts will form the foundation to discuss current issues in understanding the immune
response to
infection.
The course is intended for students not majoring in biology or related fields. The immune system is a complex and
integral
component of mammals. It must distinguish foreign viruses or bacteria from self structures and remove pathogens
while sparing
itself as well as commensal bacteria.The development and cellular and molecular mechanisms of recognition will
be covered.
Effector responses and autoimmune mechanisms will be compared. Issues relevant to viral (e.g., influenza, HIV
West Nile Virus)
and parasite infections will be studied with some historical perspective.

Brief Description:
The course explores cultural change in Chinese history through a focus on urban life, material culture and the arts,
with particular
reference to the transitional period from the end of the last imperial dynasty through to the eve of World War II.
This was a
period of political turbulence, marked by civil wars and foreign aggression, but it was also a period of great
creativity in every
field, from industry and finance through to literature and architecture. Social institutions from the family to the
school underwent
profound changes. The Chinese Communist Party was founded in this period, and China's first Olympics team was
formed as
well.
Students taking this subject will be exposed to historical materials bearing on cultural change in a variety of areas
including urban
planning, painting, film, fashion and the family. We will be considering what it means to describe these cultural
products as premodern
or modern, and why this question is important in the writing of history. Museums, art galleries and historical sites
in
Beijing will provide an important learning resource as the class explores the meanings of “modern”in this critical
period.

Note: 有意选课的同学，第一堂课请务必到场。
Brief Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to Confucianism in relationship to Chinese economic culture. The
course supposes
no prior knowledge of Chinese history or culture: it begins simply with an introduction to the historical figure of
Confucius, his
writings, historical importance, and present-day relevance. Having grappled with the question, “what is
Confucianism?”, the class
will go on to consider another question: “why has Confucianism both been blamed as the cause of China’s
‘backwardness’ and
praised as the secret of China’s economic success?” The focus of study is on commerce and its practitioners in the
last halfmillennium,
from the commercial revolution in the late Ming dynasty (16th century) to the consumer revolution of present
times;
and on the associated ideological environments, from heterodoxy in the late Ming to Confucian revivalism now.
The major
problem under consideration is the ascribed relationship between culture and the economy in historical and
contemporary
writings.
The subject objectives are: to expose students to the history of commerce in China, with specific reference to
cultural values in
relation to commerce; to invite their intellectual engagement in this history; to develop critical thinking skills in
relationship to
common categories of analysis such as “culture” and “economy,” and to build writing skills through regular
written work
submitted as part of the assessment.
