Lecture Series on the History and Culture of Central Asia (AAI, Universität Hamburg - IBISCR, Uzbekistan)

Together with the Imam Bukhari International Scientific Research Center under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, I have initiated the joint Lecture Series on the History and Culture of Central Asia.

Many lectures deal with Islamic material culture from Central Asia.
