Iberian Qur’ans — First session of Iberian Connections

This first term of Iberian Con­nec­tions will explore the themes of Iberia, Mul­ti­cul­tur­alisms, and Mar­ginal Writing. All ses­sions are free and open to the public. Most ses­sions will be either audio-taped or video-taped, and uploaded to the Iberian Con­nec­tions website.

The first session of Iberian Con­nec­tions for this term fea­tures Nuria de Castilla. Alexander Peña will be in charge of con­ducting the session. Prof. Nuria de Castilla will address her brand new research on the Qur’ans that were gathered by Charles V during his Tunis cam­paign as a war booty.

Nuria de Castilla has pro­posed two articles, with an abstract, and a description of her scholarly tra­jectory and findings over the years. Alexander Peña’s response will be posted here as well.

Iberian Con­nec­tions is spon­sored by The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for Inter­na­tional and Area Studies, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
