The Silk Roads programme at King's
An interdisciplinary research programme to study the history and culture of the countries of the Silk Roads
About the Silk Roads programme
Through a generous donation, King’s has initiated a programme for the study of the history and culture of the Silk Road countries, societies, and cultures of Asia from the Western borders of China to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as their relationships with China in the East and Europe in the West.
This broad programme of studies includes lectures, seminars and conferences, as well as graduate scholarships and Research Fellowships, which explore relationships and the movement of materials, knowledge, and technologies between China and the Mediterranean at any period in history up to the present day.

Listen to Peter Frankopan and Carrie Humphrey on the Silk Roads
"King's of Curiosity", the College's research podcast hosted by Provost Gillian Tett, featured Carrie Humphrey and Peter Frankopan in conversation on the past and present of a part of the world which continues to shape global trade and cultures today. "Building Bridges across the Silk Roads" is the second episode in the series and our guests shared some fascinating insights, from the origin of the term Silk Roads to a new way of looking at the Great Wall of China.
