PUBLIC LECTURES
As part of the University of San Francisco, whose motto
is "Pro Urbe et Universitate" (For the City and the University),
the Ricci Institute participates in projects that allow us to put our scholarly
resources at the service of the largest possible community both inside
and outside the University.
As part of those efforts, Institute staff and affiliates have given public
talks as part of exhibitions and activities at a number of San Francisco
Bay Area institutions. Included here in order to disseminate their content
even more broadly, are three talks delivered on the role of the Jesuits
at the Qing imperial court as part of a December 2000 exhibit at the Oakland
Museum of California focused on "The
Secret World of the Forbidden City", and another in August 2004 at
the Chabot Space and Science Center (also in Oakland) to accompany an exhibit
on Chinese
astronomy, entitled Dragon Skies. |
