  • Location: Room 303, SNUAC (Bldg. 101)

Presenter: Soojung Han (Assistant Professor of History, Southwestern University)

This seminar examines the process through which the Shatuo Turks and the Sino–Inner Asian world were reconfigured, with a particular focus on diplomatic relations between medieval China and Central/Inner Asia. In doing so, it seeks to reinterpret the relations between China and Central/Inner Asia from a diplomatic perspective during the period from the eighth to the eleventh centuries.
