20 March 2013: On Winning the Race: From the Swimming Pool To Discovering World History
Speaker: Professor Olle FERM
How much do you remember about the Middle Ages and the emergence of Western civilization? Perhaps something about the Roman and Byzantine empires, the Vikings, the Crusaders, the Black Death, Marco Polo and Gothic architecture. These are all roots which have shaped European civilization, and they are also important sources for mankind in developing human civilization in the contemporary globalized world. To demonstrate the relevance of the historical wisdom embedded in these roots is at the core of Professor Olle Ferm’s scholarship, and his career can be seen as a race to do his utmost to fulfill this task. Seen as a race, his scholarship may be compared to sports, and Professor Ferm has also been a sportsman, a world-class Olympic swimmer. To attain success, whether in academic work or in sports, requires practice and perseverance. Professor Ferm has been very successful both as a sportsman and as a scholar, and in his lecture he will share with us his experience of how these two roles have been intertwined in his life.
