90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
This is an excellent, well organized introduction to a part of the world unknown to most Americans.
Excellent overview of history, cultures, geography, etc.
The presentation was excellent! The presenter was clear and gave many details that made the discussion very interesting. I have no familiarity with this part of the world and I'm finding it fascinating. I will be taking more of her seminars.
Lots to learn about a part of the world few of us learned about in school. Dr. Wieda is an expert in this subject and delivers a fascinating talk.
Presenter knows her history, but her presentation was quite dry. I probably wouldn’t sign up for other lectures from her.
