Oudheid | Mycene en de Myceense wereld (2/2): diplomatie, handel, en de omzwervingen van Odysseus

In dit tweede deel van het tweeluik over het oude Mycene en de Myceense wereld horen we van dr. Jorrit Kelder van de Universität Hamburg meer over onder andere internationale diplomatie tussen Mycene en onder andere de 'Grote Koningen' - 'broeders' - van Egypte, het Hettitische rijk en Babylon. Maar waren er ook contacten met het noorden, met Europa? Maar ook twee bekende verhalen krijgen een Myceense link: de omzwervingen van Odysseus en het verhaal van Troje.

A conversation with Nicholas Morton (Nottingham Trent University) about the Mongol conquests of the thirteenth century, the terror that they inspired, and the strategies by which its targets tried to survive them. What did the Mongols think they were doing and how did the Byzantines use diplomacy to deflect the danger and even use it to their advantage? The conversation is based on Nic's just-released book The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East (Basic Books 2022).

Byzantium & Friends | 18. Byzantine soft power in an age of decline, with Cecily Hilsdale

A conversation with Cecily Hilsdale (McGill University) about the coping strategies that late Byzantium used to counter, ameliorate, and reverse its imperial decline. We talk about the concepts of decline and soft power, and how art, literature, scholarship, and religious identity were deployed strategically to win over potential allies and disseminate a prestige Byzantine "brand." The conversation is based on her book Byzantine Art and Diplomacy in an Age of Decline (Cambridge University Press 2014).

Dissidence in Leadership: “What Would Bert Röling Do?”

This is a syllabus for the Leadership Masterclasses designed for the Honours Master Programme, University of Groningen. The main aim of the Masterclass is to challenge students to test their own ideas on the relationship between leadership and innovative thinking and dissidence. By the end of the Masterclass, students will be able to: ▪ Understand and explain the role of innovative thinking and dissidence in producing and progressing different fields of research; ▪ Analyse and assess the role of inter-cultural understanding in making leadership decisions; ▪ Value interdisciplinary approaches in tacking global challenges; ▪ Critically reflect on how to apply these insights to their own future professions. The Masterclass has a concrete compass: the students study, by way of example, the work of Judge and Professor at the University of Groningen Bert Röling who introduced new ways to look at international law and created news fields of interdisciplinary research.
