This class is designed to give you a taste of the various and diverse aspects of traditional Korean culture, including the history and language of Korea, its religions and philosophies, its art and architecture, its music and performing arts, and its literature and folklore. Given the broad scope of the class, it will naturally not be possible to dive too deeply into any single subject, but it is hoped that these lectures will give you a foundation on which to understand Korea and whet your appetite to explore Korean culture further.
