TRINITY GLOBAL HUMANITIES LECTURE SERIES 2025
Our Unborn World: Global Political Thought in the Twentieth Century
These lecture series will offer reflections on the enterprise of global political thought. Do the different frameworks we bring to thinking about global political theory – national, comparative, interconnected, decolonial – adequately describe the nature of our predicament? In engaging with this question, the lecture hopes to shed light on the nature of the legitimation crisis that different parts of the world are experiencing.

Boat tour

Ming9734

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Trinity College

苏河家园

Travel into Trinity College, Cambridge, with not only beautiful atriums and fountains, but also ancient libraries. The college, built by King Henry VIII of England, has been through the storm and has become one of the largest, most financially powerful and most reputable colleges in Cambridge University. Its deep academic heritage and remarkable historical status are unique and worth a visit.

Mathematical Bridge

Visit the &quot;Mathematical Bridge&quot; attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.

The Corpus Clock

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.
