About this talk
Correspondence offers a unique view into the social mechanics of scholarship, revealing how networks form and how ideas and expertise circulate. This perspective is especially valuable for studying cross-cultural and transnational knowledge-making, a historically important yet vulnerable field. This talk explores the correspondence network of Egyptologist Jaroslav Černý to show how everyday exchanges helped shape an international scholarly community.
