This event is open to all, and Roy has substantial experience visiting the region, as well as research expertise in Islam.
An existential encounter with the gardens of Andalusia this talk will tap into Roy’s philosophical background as well as his study of Islam as he walks us through aspects of these beautiful gardens to explore their place in the Islamic world and what they have to reveal to us about the wider world and ourselves.
We take students to this region (including gardens) as part of our hm5050 Field Trip. Pics of these visits (and other trips) can be seen over on our photo-site.
