Dunhuang & Silk Road Seminar Series, MichaelmasTerm 2021
We hold a series of talks each term whose overall theme links with Dunhuang and/or the Silk Road.
These take place via Zoom on Thursdays and require pre-registration.
Except as noted * below, all talks will begin at 5pm UK Time, lasting an hour with time allocated afterwards for questions, debate, and discussion.
We welcome listeners from all fields who feel that these talks may help their own research or who are curious to know about the diverse topics covered.
