The focus of this course is to
understand social change and development in contemporary Chinese society,
particularly the roles of societal institutions and individual actions in
social change, and how social change affects the nature of people’s lives. It
will concern such theoretical and methodological issues regarding state-society
relations (state in society, state as society), structure and agency, context
and behaviour, and macro-micro linkages. We will examine, particularly, how
macro state policies (including market reforms, population policy, and
democratic election), mediated by societal institutions, influence individual
behaviour, and on the other hand, how individual actions reshapes the
characteristics of the society in which they live.
In addition to the formal lectures
and classroom discussions co-taught by two University of Toronto professors,
namely Weiguo Zhang (Sociology), and Ka Tat Tsang (Social Work), we will invite
Chinese scholars and students, villagers, migrant labor, women, elderly, and
policy makers for guest lectures and informants discussions. Students will have the chance to participate
in the organized trips to visit a state-owned or joint venture, a center for
migrant labors and women, a nursing home for the elderly, etc.

●have deeper understanding of the characteristics
of the Chinese politics, economy, culture, and society, and how they intertwine
and work together in the Chinese society;
●have better understanding of the
relevant theories and concepts of social change and development, and
particularly the roles of societal institutions and individual action in social

issues pertinent to the Chinese society.
