But they were also purveyors of culture to their imperial neighbors, transporting craftsmen, artists, Buddhist monks and others across Central Asia. The Sogdians introduced new artistic and religious ideas and contributed to military and diplomatic affairs as far west as Europe and as far east as Japan during the 5th to 8th centuries CE. Despite their remarkable influence, the Sogdians remain an understudied and underrepresented culture in the history of Eurasian studies.<\/p>\n<p>This event celebrates the going \u201clive\u201d of the first exhibition, digital or otherwise, devoted to the Sogdians. The product of more than seven years of work organized by the Freer|Sackler Asian Art Galleries of the Smithsonian Institute, the exhibition combines the latest academic research with a variety of digital media\u2013 from interactive maps to 3D photogrammetry, drone footage of archaeological sites to video interviews with leading scholars. It is a case study of how experimental pedagogy, global history, and the digital humanities can bring scholarship on the ancient world to new audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Join the Sogdian team in discussing the methodological and technical approaches taken in developing the project and get a chance to look at the newly available site.<\/p>\n<p>Co-sponsored by: XE: Experimental Humanities &amp; Social Engagement, the Program in Museum Studies, and Digital Scholarship Services<\/p>\n<p>Any questions can be addressed to\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\">kimon.keramidas@nyu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event name:\u00a0The Sogdians \u2013 Influencers on the Silk Roads Date:\u00a0April 4, 2019 Time: 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM Location:\u00a0Bobst Library, Room 743,\u00a070 Washington Square South Register: Registration XE: NYU\u2019s Program in Experimental Humanities and Social Engagement, the NYU\u2019s Program in Museum Studies, and Digital Scholarship Services at NYU\u2019s Bobst Library would like to invite you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":151,"featured_media":370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcement","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/151"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3382"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3392,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3382\/revisions\/3392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/chss-digital-media-colab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
