[MR] Tonight! December 11th Instructor Spotlight

[Jennifer Thies]

   Join us TONIGHT! Monday, December 11, 2023 at 7pm EST for our December
   Instructor Spotlight,

   The Broad Silk Roads with Hlaford Bran Mydwynter

   This time of year is all about connection. Friends, families,
   communities. Long-distance, or across broad regions.

   In contrast, we've been handed a myth of isolation in the premodern
   world, as if Medieval-era borders were solid and ideas couldn't travel.
   It's why the story of "a silk road" holds so much sway; with a romantic
   story of silk from China being carted by a single intrepid merchant
   across the wilds of Eurasia to end up in an Italian nobleman's coat, it
   lights up our mind with pictures of those in the past encountering
   astonishing novelty after lifetimes of familiarity.

   But the world was so much more integrated than that. Regions relied on
   each other, not only for goods but also for culture and ideas. Regular
   connection with far-off lands was pervasive and, often, expected.

   Through art and archaeology, we'll use the modern research of diverse
   specialists and scholars to talk about the trading networks of raw
   materials, manufactured items, and culture which opened up and knitted
   together the world—the effects of which are even applicable in the
   present day.

   The globalism of the premodern era was vast and deep. Join us to
   broaden your view.
