Josephine Quinn & Christopher Harding

East Meets West: Crossing Cultures

Two leading historians explore the criss-cross of global influences from East and West, from the ancient world to today.

Josephine and Christopher argue that understanding societies in isolation is both out-of-date and wrong.  It was contact and connections as societies met, tangled and sometimes grew apart rather than solitary civilisations, that drove historical change.

‘Allowing us to understand just how globalised and interconnected mankind has always been.’ – William Dalrymple

Josephine and Christopher will be in conversation with Jeevan Vasagar, contributing editor at Tortoise Media and author of Lion City.

This event lasts 1 hour
Tickets: 25s and under price available.
