Hadrian’s Wall: A monument to Conflict
Переглядів 108Місяць тому
Hadrian’s Wall is not a typical Roman frontier. Its imposing scale sets it apart from its peers, raising questions about what such a substantial barrier system was intended to achieve. Was it a hollow piece of imperial rhetoric, or a bulwark against full-blown ‘barbarian’ invasions from the north? Setting the priorities apparent in the design and building schedule for the Wall alongside what is...

Переглядів 833Місяць тому
China’s economy hasn’t been what it was. Even before Covid, Xi Jinping spoke often of a “new normal” of slower growth and a pressing need for structural reform. In late 2024, we see a new round of stimulus, but the long-term results and prognosis are less clear. Victor Shih and William Hurst will discuss various aspects of China’s economy today and its potential road ahead. About the speaker: V...

The Company’s Sword: The East India Company and the Politics of Militarism, 1644-1858
Переглядів 193Місяць тому
In the late eighteenth century, it was a cliché that the East India Company ruled India ‘by the sword.’ Christina Welsch shows how Indian and European soldiers shaped and challenged the Company’s political expansion and how elite officers turned those dynamics into a bid for ‘stratocracy’ - a state dominated by its army. Combining colonial records with Mughal Persian sources from Indian states,...
