On Wednesday, February 5th, from 1- 2:30 pm in Scholars Hall 109, Auditorium, the Michigan Global Awareness Consortium will offer the first presentation of its spring series. This event is free and open to the public.
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Stewart Gordon, a senior research scholar at the Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Michigan and author of the book When Asia Was The World. Through relating personal accounts of Asia’s many bygone travelers, Gordon has fashioned a compelling and unique look at Asia from AD 700 to 1500, a time when Asia was leading the world.
Please join us to hear Dr. Gordon’s stories of how Asia flourished as the wellspring of science, philosophy, and religion. Linked together by a web of spiritual, commercial, and intellectual connections, the distant regions of Asia’s vast civilization, from Arabia to China, hummed with trade, international diplomacy, and the exchange of ideas.
