Around the world, relationships between people and horses have had a tremendous impact on the human story, forever changing ways of life from transport to communication, subsistence, and belief. Drawing together leading scholars and thinkers from around the world to share perspectives on the human-horse story, this free symposium celebrates the release of the 2024 Eugene M. Kayden Book Prize Award winning book, Hoof Beats: How Horses Shaped Human History. The symposium brings together one external invited speaker and six internal (CU community) speakers to talk about different aspects of horse culture, including three specialists in Asia (Dr. Stephanie Su, Dr. William Taylor, and Dr. Tamar McKee). Free & open to the public.
