Dunhuang & Silk Road Seminar Series, 2021
Dates: Lent Term (January-March 2021)
Venue: Online via Zoom
We hold a series of talks each term whose overall theme links with Dunhuang and the Silk Road.
These take place via Zoom on Thursdays and require pre-registration. All talks will begin at 5pm GMT, 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.
This seminar series is organised by Dr Imre Galambos with the generous support of the Glorisun Global Network.
Please see the original Dunhuang Seminar Series homepage here for the latest term of 2021 (Lent).
