[Kathryn Helstrom]

Here is information about Chinese history and culture classes being offered
at NSU in Broken Arrow.
The classes on Traditional Food and Gender Relations sound particularly
interesting.  Anyone with
interest in medieval China might find these classes enlightening.

parent-child communication in China.
