Conferences in Tel Aviv University
It was my first time in Israel. I met some new friends like Asaf Goldschmidt, Gadi Algazi, Mark Gamsa, Ron Sela and saw many old friends and colleagues. The organizer Ori Sela impressed all of us with his attention to details and logistics, gourmet food, boutique hotel, beautiful campus and, most importantly, intellectual stimulation and archaeological tours! Ori also demonstrated his superhuman ability to participate in two intense conferences consecutively over the span of five days. The first one is called Rethinking Time in Modern China: An Sinological Intervention and the second one Asian Spaces: Border-crossing Dialogues . Moreover, Ori took us to two archaeological sites: Beit She'an and Tel Megiddo . Below is a picture of me and my PhD advisor Benjamin Elman in Beit She'an. Facing the Roman baths in Beit She'an.
