Introducing: “The Travels of the Lute: A Digital Humanities Resource for Teaching and Learning World History”

Professor Mairi Cowan has just launched a new website that provides teaching and learning resources for the study of medieval and early modern world history at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. Hosted by the UTM Library and freely available to all, it features a series of videos in which players of the oud, lute, and sarod perform music and discuss the histories of their instruments; an interactive GIS mapping tool; teaching materials for a range of courses and levels; and links to additional resources. Please feel free to share the link with anyone you think might be interested, and contact project director Mairi Cowan with any questions or comments.
