We are excited to kick off this year with a slow seminar discussion of Sebastian Prange’s (2018) Monsoon Islam: Trade & Faith on the Medieval Malabar Coast. We are fortunate to have SEACoast member Wayne Huang open the discussion with a few thoughts and questions. Wayne is a PhD student in the Anthropology Department at UCSC. His dissertation examines the cinnamon garden and supply chain, and their significance to the social, cultural, ecological, and religious landscapes of Kerinci Valley in Sumatra, Indonesia.
This slow seminar is a hybrid event (more info below), and the discussion will be followed by a small reception for in-person attendees. There will be refreshments and plenty of opportunities to get to know SEACoast, ask questions about our Center and events, and find ways to get involved!
If this is your first time hearing about a Slow Seminar, we invite you to read our brief introduction to Slow Seminars.
