UCSD Students Rejoice Hysterically at Being in Jordan's Class
(Picture shows simulated joy & hysteria.)

I joined the UCSD faculty in 1969-70.I officially retired in 2004, but continued teaching to 2019-20: 50 years at UCSD. I continue at the very relaxed rate of two 1-unit “freshman seminars” per year, normally both in the fall quarter.
Winter, 2019, was my last term teaching full-time. In recent years all or nearly all readings have been on various web pages, normally created for the purpose by me. When copyright has not intervened, these files, like course syllabi, lecture review notes, and so on, have also been open for public use.
I anticipate continuing such public pages of the web site —the vast majority— as are not specific to particular courses. (In general, materials located on the ucsd.edu server —about 6,000 files— remain available, and should continue with occasional updates or supplementation, until my eventual death. Course-related aterials on dkjordan.net will be gradually be removed, or in a few cases modified for broader use, and added to ucsd.edu.)
Public materials are indexed at China-Related Resources on This Site when they relate to China and at Teachers’ and Students’ Resources Available on This Site when they are about anything else (materials from other courses, advice for for interviewing, essay on epidemic disease, dictionary of anthropology, guide to ancient metallurgy, textbook of Nahuatl, &c, &c.). In general I have resisted listing any resource more than once in the two indices.
(When I became an administrator in 1994, I was no longer required to teach, although I continued to do so. This continued to be the case after I formally retired in 2004. Several classes taught in the past have dropped off the end of the approval shelf because they have not been taught for a long time. Just for the record, here is a list of some of these. Graduate students interested in pursuing some of these topics are invited to discuss the matter with me.)
