The Stanford Program on International and Cross-cultural Education (SPICE) has just been named the winner of the 2007 Franklin R. Buchanan Prize for the curriculum unit China's Cultural Revolution. The Buchanan Prize is awarded annually by the Association for Asian Studies and recognizes high-quality curriculum materials on Asia. This is the third time that SPICE has won the Buchanan Prize since it was established in 1995.

The Cultural Revolution in China (1966-76) was a decade of enormous change and upheaval with a lasting impact on the country, its citizens, and the world. China's Cultural Revolution teaches students about the social, cultural, educational, political, and economic changes through hands-on activities requiring critical thinking skills.

This unit was written by SPICE Curriculum Specialists, Stefanie Orrick Lamb and Greg Francis.

The Association for Asian Studies publishes the Journal of Asian Studies and is the largest scholarly association on Asian countries, cultures, and regions in the world.
