We will review their histories from AD 1000 to the present, focusing on the period from post-WWII to the present. Both new and experienced students will explore series and topics in depth, studying the manga, manhwa, webtoons, and anime forms and comparing them against other artistic works. Course taught in English.  \nOverall KIIS Program Student Learning Outcomes:  \nKIIS Study Abroad Mission Statement:  \nKIIS provides high-quality education abroad programs for students from all diverse backgrounds that promote deep international learning, are integrated into the curriculum, and encourage critical and creative thinking. Our goal is to help students understand the wider world and develop personal and professional skills for lifelong enrichment. We strive to go beyond generalizations and cultural stereotypes to help foster a nuanced appreciation of the world in which we live.  \nStudents participating on KIIS study abroad programs aim to:  \n1) Understand contemporary issues of their host country/countries (i.e. KIIS program location) .  \n2) Develop skills to interact comfortably in a global setting.  \n3) Understand other cultures.  \nPrior to your KIIS study abroad program, and again at the conclusion of your program, KIISwill ask each student to a) answer a few multiple-choice questions, and b) write a short reflective essay (two paragraphs in length) related to the elements detailed above. Thereis no right or wrong answer, and your responses will not affect your grade in any way. The purpose of the exercise is to help KIIS measure the effectiveness of its study abroad programs.  \nCourse Objectives and Specific Learning Outcomes:  \nThis course will have as its primary core domain oral, written and visual communication.
