Science in the Global Renaissance

Ready to take your journey of Discovery? Renaissance: Journeys of Discovery at BRLSI is a year-long programme of talks and events exploring the many joys, discoveries and something of the broader cultural legacy of a movement still making waves in the 21st century.  Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Martin Luther, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Machiavelli, Hieronymus Bosch… if you love culture then you’ll love our new talks series!

Modern science is typically understood as a product of the European Renaissance, but is this view far too narrow? Our upcoming talk looks at how other cultures across the world – from Ming China to Ottoman Egypt – also experienced their own “renaissances”, and how as a consequence, science was transformed, not just in Europe, but on a global scale!

Dr James Poskett, University of Warwick
