Agenda

Dr. Dilnoza Duturaeva, Lecturer in Medieval History, University of York

Dr. Duturaeva discusses trans-Asian trade along the Silk Roads in the period between the fall of the Tang dynasty and the rise of the Mongols. Specifically, she will focus on the “renewal” of the overland routes connecting China, Central Asia, and Europe in the 11th century under the Qarakhanid patronage. By examining dynastic histories, official documents, history works, diaries and travelogues as well as art objects and maps, she aims to explore the intricacies of trade, commodities, and economic diplomacy along the global caravan routes prior to the Mongol era.
