CHEM 151 The Chemistry of Japanese Culture (PW)
This is a travel abroad course that explores how chemistry is intertwined with Japanese culture. The chemical industry is an important part of post-WWII Japan, so chemical facilities (research institutes, universities, manufacturing plants) will be visited. This course also examines unique chemistry in the everyday life of Japanese people and how it has played a part in developing culture in Japan, such as wasabi, sake, sustainability, and indigo dyeing. This class fulfills the course requirements for the Perspectives of the World (P-P) SOPHIA requirement.
