Program explores Tibet, China
TORRINGTON – Tibet and China have had a complex relationship for 15 centuries, one that will be explored in greater detail in a series of lectures hosted by the University of Wyoming Center for Global Studies.
And, this year, the Eastern Wyoming Fine Arts Auditorium will play host to one of those lectures. At 7 p.m. Sept. 22, author and journalist Mark Jenkins will bring “Tea, Trade and Tyranny: Tibet and China Over Time” to Torrington.
Jenkins, who covers geopolitics, the environment and adventure for National Geographic, will explore the relationships between the two countries, both historically and through the people. Using National Geographic images, Jenkins will reveal the modern lives of the Tibetans, and the Chinese, and the geopolitics that have always connected them, according to a press release.
The event is free and open to the public.
The UW Office of Academic Affairs, Rocky Mountain Power Foundation, Wyoming Humanities Council and the Center for Global Studies at UW jointly sponsor the lecture series.
