{"ModuleCode":"UTC1400","ModuleTitle":"Debating Singapore's Social and Economic History","Department":"College Of Alice & Peter Tan","ModuleDescription":"This module challenges today’s generation of students to reexamine and debate some of the foundational myths and assumptions about Singapore’s pioneer past. The timespan covers Singapore’s founding as a colonial economic “place” in 1819, the events leading to postcolonial independence in 1959–1965, and the formation of communities into a “nation”. We will focus on the interplay of global economic factors with internal social factors, and challenge students to ask how the engagement of communities and community leaders impacts economic development.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-3-0-3-4","Types":["Module"],"AcadYear":"2015/2016","History":[{"Semester":1,"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1600","EndTime":"1900","Venue":"CAPT-SR4"}],"LecturePeriods":["Monday Afternoon"]}]}
