CREWS Conference Presentations #3 – Writing for Display

It’s Thursday so we have three more wonderful talks from the CREWS Conference ‘Exploring the Social and Cultural Contexts of Historic Writing Systems’ for you to enjoy.

Sophie Heier, Ludwig-Maximilians Universität Munich – The visibility of runic writing and its relation to Viking Age society

Dr Christian Prager, Universität Bonn – Visual-Iconographic Dimension of Maya Hieroglyphic Writing: Meanings Beyond the Surface

Alex West, Leiden University – Why did people in medieval Java use so many different scripts?

We hope you enjoy these three fascinating insights into writing culture a bit outside the usual CREWS region!
