I'm Joe and I chose to do the Silk Road module as the content is very different to the other modules I am taking this year. I am looking forward to the interdisciplinary approach of the module and having a holistic engagement with the Silk Road across a number of cultures.

Hey, I'm Charlie. I chose this module as most of the history I've studied through schooling has been very Europe-centric and I was hoping to broaden my knowledge in regards to non-European civilisations. I also think it will be interesting to see the interconnectedness of places I wouldn't normally think of in conjunction with each other.

My name is Diya and I chose to study the Silk road module because I had always been interested in the silk road. I wanted to learn more about this trade route and how it connected multiple civilisations and caused a widespread of knowledge, ideas and innovations as well as objects to be shared between different cultures.

I am Nanhao from China UNNC campus. I am eager to audit this course to explore Western perceptions of ancient Silk Road, finding academic difference. To be honest, I have a very good understanding of Chinese history based on my education and knowledge. However, I am more willing to know more about the connection between East and West through Silk Road. Moreover, its relationship to Chinese contemporary Belt and Road strategy also attracts me a lot. I hope I could learn something new from this course.

I'm Ritvik (Ricky), I chose to study this module is because I believe that this module will lead to help me understand the non western centric history of the world as well as the things I know about the Silk Road I believe are centred around a lot of misconceptions and myths so with this module I guess I can debunk those.

My name is George, I am currently in my PhD and I will be sitting in on the module since it is highly related to my research and I might be teaching part of it next year. My primary interest is in the perception and description of the 'other' encoutnered by Europeans along the Silk roads.

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn and I chose this module because I feel like I have learned a lot about ancient civilisations but with more of a western focus. So I think the Silk Road module will be great for providing me with a more in-depth understanding of relations between the Eastern and Western civilisations during this period.

The name I prefer to go by is Lace (they/them) and I chose to study this module because one of my best friends is from Hong Kong, and I was hoping to learn more about the connection our different parts of the world have had in history. I also think it's really fascinating how trade between different cultures influences one another and I really want to learn more !!!!

Hi! I chose this module to gain a more in-depth knowledge of how the Silk Road had a role in connecting Eastern & Western relations. I have a particular growing interest in the history that connects the Ancient Mediterranean to the rest of the world.

Hi my name is Jeyoung. I chose this module in order to get a greater understanding of global history, hopefully escaping any unjustified focus on certain aspects or certain civilisations. I also look forward to reading on the interactions between civilisations, as opposed to the interactions within civilisations that people tend to focus on heavily. I look forward to studying with you!

Hi! I'm Alex (they/them) and I chose this module because I was interested in the shared role (or perceived role) that the Silk Road has played in both Eastern and Western history and relations!
I've started to understand that there's a lot of misunderstanding regarding the Silk Road so I'm looking forward to dispelling some of the myths I've picked up
