The 14th-century World

Thousand Oaks Library Lecture Series

The 14th-century World

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Barbara Tuchman explored the life of the 14th century, primarily in western Europe, in her 1978 book A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century. Four decades later, this series of lectures by Cal Lutheran faculty members also examines the 14th century, taking a more global approach with discussion of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and the Far East. 

In this lecture, Paul Hanson (History) will speak on the growth of Islam.

On Feb. 8, Michaela Reaves (History) will speak on the Americas, and on March 15,  Kapp Johnson (Religion and Management) will speak on religious change.

Admission is free. The Grant Brimhall Library is located at 1401 E. Janss Road in Thousand Oaks.
