The KOM cohort spent a day in Cambridge visiting the manuscript collection at the Fitzwilliam, where Dr Suzanne Reynolds hosted us. Next, the cohort visited the University Library's Cairo Genizah project, which Prof. Ben Outhwaite was kind enough to introduce us to #Cambridge

The Knowledge Orders cohort, kindly joined by Prof. Julia Crick and @DrDavidRundle, visited the Silk Roads exhibition at the BM. This was a great opportunity to ponder how knowledge is transmitted & how the Silk Roads can be framed differently when presented to the public.
