Pirates and witches and vampires... oh my! On this episode of This is King's! we talk to Simon Kow, director of the Early Modern Studies Program, which covers the tumultuous period from the 16th to 18th centuries that was marked by a flourishing of philosophy, science, and art. And we discuss the program's relevance in view of government's desire for more job-ready learning, and in the new age of AI.For notes:You can find out more about the Early Modern Studies Program here: https://ukings.ca/area-of-study/early-modern-studies/Read director Simon Kow's blog here: https://ukings.ca/programs/emsp-plus/early-modern-times/
