For anyone interested in Go history, games, and East Asia, please note the upcoming online talk.
On Tuesday, 9 December, 11:00–12:00 CET, Prof. Chihyung Nam (Department of Go Studies, Myongji University, South Korea) will give an online lecture on “The Origin of the Game of Go”.
The talk is based on her research for a book on the history of Go in East Asia, which I am currently translating into English at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. This event is part of the Ludic Languages of Asia lecture series, organised by board game historian Jacob Schmidt-Madsen. No registration is required; the Zoom link is available here: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/event/origin-game-go
Feel free to share the announcement with anyone in your network who might be interested!
