While we are in Beijing much of our time will be spent in the field collecting material that you will prepare for posting to ChinaVine.org. The purpose of Assignment B is to assist you in becoming familiar with ChinaVine and also how materials collected in the field can be interpreted. For this assignment you are asked to visit ChinaVine.org and to read the article by Peter H. Welsh on “Reconfiguring Museums.” We have posed two questions for you to respond to based on your time spent on ChinaVine and the article by Welsh.

Assignment B is due on June 26. You can find the detailed guidelines here.

Remember to post your assignment in the blog stream, and categorize it as “Assignment B” so that it will be easy for all of us to gather the responses in one place. Feel free to use any tags you’d like, as these will help further specify the content of your response. In order to take advantage of this online format, and have us all in dialog with each other, do add comments to your fellow student’s posts.
