Dr. Stephen Owen, James Bryant Conant University Professor at Harvard University will be visiting Texas A&M on September 24th to conduct a public lecture on Chang'an (modern Xi'an). The lecture will be held in Room 402 at Rudder tower at 6:00 pm and will be free to the public.
Chang’an (modern Xi’an) was the capital ...of the Western Han in the second and first centuries B.C.E. and of the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the end of the sixth to the beginning of the tenth century C.E. In the Tang it was the largest city in the world, and its urban topography is well-known, both from archeology and from the textual record. In this lecture I will talk about the Tang city and contemporary responses to it. It was a peculiarly Chinese imperial city, a perfect grid which was the orderly product of imperial will, the microcosm of the orderly empire, but like the empire itself, disorderly once one entered the grid.

Dr. Mel Stewart of Peking University (China) will present a symposium on "Confucianism & Christianity" on April 9 2009 at 6.00pm in MSC 212.
Confucius is China’s best known philosopher, and his teachings undergird the societies of East Asia. What are the teachings of Confucius, and are they similar to the moral and reli...gious codes that have guided the West historically? What are the parallels and divergences between traditional Christian teaching and those of Confucius? Mel Stewart, a Templeton visiting professor at Peking University, will engage these topics and more at this public lecture.
Melville Y. Stewart is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus and Adjunct at Bethel University in Minnesota. He has a B.A. from Gordon College, an M. Div. from Westminster Theological Seminary, an S.T.M. from Andover Newton Theological School, an M.A. from the University of Connecticut, a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and he did post-doctoral work at Oxford in 1986.
