37568 Advanced Topics in East Asian Religion (Prof.Marc Mullinax) Prof.Mullinax is a faculty of Ewha International Summer Co-ed College and Professor at Department of Religion in Mars Hill University, North Carolina, USA. Course description Religion's concern is that which ultimately concerns. The religions of East Asia are culturally-rich sacred quests by their members to develop stories and narratives of meaning about how their visible world works according to unseen laws and forces. Each religion has developed its own vocabulary by which it comes to a partial understanding of, and agreement with such unseen forces. Therefore, each East Asian religion is historically conditioned and culturally enriched; this course will be a rigorous exploration of how East Asian worldviews have developed these religious perspectives. 37564 Korean Film & Media Studies (Prof. Steve Choe) Prof. Choe is a faculty of Ewha International Summer Co-ed College and Associate Professor at San...
