During the 2004-5 academic year the Institute of East Asian Studies with its outreach office (ORIAS) collaborated with the Hearst Museum of Anthropology on developing curriculum material from Chinese material culture in the museum's collection. The museum objects chosen were from the Ilse Martin Fang Chinese Folklore Collection. These objects include many examples of ritual and traditional culture in China including papercuts, embroidered clothing, folk painting, wood block prints and spring couplets. They were collected by Ms. Fang in Beijing and Nanking between 1941 and 1946, while she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Deutschland Institute working on folklore and women's studies.

The resulting curriculum unit and classroom box were written and designed by Nicole Mullen, outreach manager at the museum, with contributions from Ching-chih Lin, PhD candidate working on Chinese popular culture in the History Department at Berkeley.

This, and other teaching kits from the museum, are available on-line at:

Our meeting at ORIAS on October 2nd will give us a chance to hear from Nicole Mullen and Ching-chih Lin about the teaching kit materials and Chinese traditional culture on the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and our local Chinatowns.

A color copy of the resource unit with images, bibliography, student glossary and review questions will be provided at the workshop.

Lunch and materials are free of charge for registered participants.

Further information is available from Michele Delattre at the Office of Resources for International and Area Studies (ORIAS) at orias@berkeley.edu or by calling 510/643-0868.

Funding is provided by Title VI grants from the United States Department of Education.
