A five-week institute for twenty-five college and university faculty to examine the defining characteristics of Mongol culture and society, emphasizing the Mongol Empire's role in shaping global history.

"The Mongols and the Eurasian Nexus of Global History" will enable undergraduate educators to develop curricula on the Mongols and the important cultural interactions that emerged in the wake of their conquests. While focusing on a pivotal period in global history and its subsequent impacts, the program will also offer resources for enhancing engagement with multiculturalism, its challenges, and creative possibilities.
