with Peter Frankopan
This is an in-person only event, which will take place at the British Academy. Please register in advance
This talk looks at the role of nature and the environment and its significance to the geology, geography, religions and histories of the peoples of the modern Middle East. It will explore how new approaches and disciplines can open up new perspectives on understanding and conceptualising continuities and exchange over many centuries – and how this can help illuminate the study of the past.
