tbh this class is a lot more work compared to other music upper divs but i really really enjoyed learning about tibet from a leading scholar in its music. the workload throughout the quarter is manageable cuz it's just a 1-2 paragraph reading response per week but the real challenge is the final since it requires you to consider the readings and further readings (!!!!) to formulate a huge argument about a niche topic. i've heard about people hating on this class, but i thoroughly enjoyed challenging my own preconceptions surrounding china, power, exile, tibet, race, politics etc.
