The academic programme
Plenary lecture course JT0: Treasures of the East
One special subject course per week
Evening lectures
Practical sessions
An exciting new Summer School extends the range of courses we offer. Interest in antiquity is experiencing a revival, and the approach of this unique new programme will appeal to a broad range of interests. The Summer School is multidisciplinary, featuring the artistic, literary, philosophical, religious, economic and scientific characteristics of a range of empires, from the Greek and Roman, to the Persian and Chinese. We focus particularly on the historical and cultural dimensions of ancient empires and their interactions with one another. The programme capitalises on the expertise of our academics in Classics, Divinity, Philosophy, Archaeology and Anthropology, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, and History and Philosophy of Science. It also draws upon rich collections in Cambridge Museums, including particularly, the Fitzwilliam Museum, which will have an exhibition of the Tomb Treasures of Han China during the summer.
Plenary lectures
In addition, Senior academics from this University and beyond contribute daily plenary lectures. The plenary theme of this first Ancient Empires programme is Treasures of the East. Speakers will consider the East both as a place and a cultural idea: central to some empires, and a frontier of others. The talks are designed to extend your knowledge into areas not covered by the special subject courses, developing your understanding of the Empires in question.
