[Noordam, Dr. Barend]

Dear colleagues,

Please find attached the program of the Enemy Encounters in East Asia webinar series for the second semester of the 2025-2026 academic year. The webinar is organized as part of the Research Training Group (RTG) Ambivalent Enmity: Dynamics of Antagonism in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, hosted by Heidelberg University and the Heidelberg University of Jewish Studies.


Please note that the program includes the two sessions that had to be postponed last semester. On March 26, Professor Xing Hang will give a presentation on Chinese merchants and settlers in mainland Southeast Asia. On May 28, Dr. Damien Peladan will deliver a talk on the tactics and combat techniques of Japanese pirates in Korea and China between 1350 and 1419.

The RTG also produces the podcast series Enemy Encounters which features interviews and in-depth discussions conducted by members of the RTG with scholars, researchers and journalists about various cases of ambivalent enmity in Eurasia as a whole.
