Project Profile:

Serai: Premodern Encounters

Archived Project

Website:http://serai.utsc.utoronto.ca/

Description: As an explicitly trans-disciplinary space, Serai offers researchers, teachers, and students at all stages of their careers a digital meeting place where they can share resources, exchange ideas, and collaborate on projects. We hope to inspire others to join us in thinking through our diverse research materials about the multiple intersections between the past and the future of cultural encounters, knowledge production, and boundary crossing, and the urgency of exploring connectivities and confluences across seemingly disparate spaces.
