EASC and CSCC develop video modules on the Japanese "samurai" warrior class

EASC logo

Building on its partnership from 2014-2019 which resulted in the development of 14 new video modules on East Asian history, the East Asian Studies Center (EASC) and Columbus State Community College (CSCC) have developed two additional video modules in 2020 and have plans to develop more over the 2018-2022 cycle. The latest modules, "The Real Rules for Samurai" and "The Historical Development of the Warrior Class in Japan," were developed by Ryan Schultz, a lecturer in OSU's Department of History, in partnership with Prof. Christianna Hurford and Prof. Jennifer Nardone of CSCC's Humanities Department, with support from EASC's Title VI National Resource Center grant. The modules are created for use in CSCC's World History course which is offered on both the CSCC campus and through their College Credit Plus program which makes college-level classes available in regional high schools. The two new modules and the 14 previously-created modules are also available for classroom use worldwide on EASC's YouTube channel.
