World Heritage Sites represent the best and most important cultural sites from the beginning of Human existence to nearly the Modern era.<\/p>\n
This summer we are putting together a virtual tour of a selection of the 908 cultural World Heritage Sites, introducing them and discussing why they should be considered important.<\/p>\n
The lectures will be organised in thematic groups of five and will be spread over several weekdays, depending on the lecturers presenting.<\/p>\n
Format<\/strong>: Each date will consist of a 50-60min lecture, 10 minutes break and 15-20 minutes discussion.<\/p>\n We hope to add further lectures as the summer progresses.<\/p>\n All lectures can be booked individually or as part of a set of 5.<\/p>\n In addition to these online lectures. Dr. Mike Nevell is offering a face to face course on the Industrial Revolution WHS in England and Wales in Spring 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n Lecturer: Birgitta Hoffmann<\/p>\n 9 July<\/strong> \u00a0 Introduction: Frontier of the Roman Empire: One World Heritage Site, many countries, many sites to visit<\/p>\n 16 July<\/strong> The British Sites: Hadrian’s Wall and the Antonine Wall<\/p>\n 23 July<\/strong>: The German Limes and the Lower Rhine<\/p>\n 30 July:<\/strong> The next step: The Danube Limes<\/p>\n 6 August<\/strong>:\u00a0 The dream: Petra and the Arabian Limes<\/p>\n Please. follow this link<\/a> to book your individual lectures on The Frontiers of the Roman Empire<\/strong> with Eventbrite. <\/a>Alternatively, you can send a cheque and completed booking form to the address below.<\/p>\n Lecturer: Birgitta Hoffmann<\/p>\n This block will explore the Roman cities that have world heritage site status beyond Rome and Carthage:<\/p>\n 13 August<\/strong> Paphos in Cyprus<\/p>\n 20 August<\/strong> Aphrodisias and Pergamon in Turkey<\/p>\n 27 August<\/strong> Volubilis in Morocco and, Timgad and Tipasa in Algeria<\/p>\n 3 September:<\/strong> Merida, Tarraco and Lugo in Spain<\/p>\n 10th September:<\/strong> Arles and Orange in France<\/p>\n Please. follow this link<\/a> to book your individual lectures on The cities of Rome<\/strong> with Eventbrite. <\/a>Alternatively, you can send a cheque and completed booking form to the address below.<\/p>\n A five week online course on Zoom<\/span><\/p>\n A five week course exploring some of the World Heritage Sites that celebrate the cities of the Roman Empire beyond Rome and Carthage and drawing attention to some sites that form part of World Heritage sites not usually associated with the Romans (eg.
