On 24 March 2026, a lecture has inaugurated the AILC-ICLA/Memory of the World Series, from the collaboration between the AILC-ICLA and the UNESCO Memory of the World programme. Entitled “The Ferghana Horse, from the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties: a cosmotechnical perspective”, it was followed by insightful comments from Dame Professor Jessica Rawson and Professor Wen-chin Ouyang, as well as a lively discussion.

You can watch the video recording of the lecture on the The ICLA/MoW Series page.


The Series includes talks, seminars and conferences, and is hosted by the Centre for Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.
