Tibetan Culture and History from the Beginning of the Era of the Dalai Lamas to the Early 20th Century
with Rob Vanwey. J.D.
(07:00 - 08:30 am or 02:30 - 04:00 pm Pacific Time, Mondays and Thursdays)
What was going on in Tibet before the Chinese permanently moved in? Unlike in the 19th century, most of Tibet's past involved a dynamic relationship with its neighbors, even distant ones like the Europeans. Over the past nearly twenty years, I have studied with or spent time speaking to Tibetans in China, Tibet, India, and Nepal. They have told me stories of their families from days past. These tales revealed to me the incredible interweaving of Tibetan culture with neighboring ones. This course looks at that communal neighborhood much farther back into history.
Join me in exploring how Tibet thrived within the broader context of inter-Asian relations from the early days of the Dalai Lamas to the mid-20th century.
