Although they lost their polity to the Mongols, the Tanguts played an important role in the development of Buddhism and secular institutions in both Tibet and China. The study of the language and literature offers many insights on intercultural exchange in an important period of Asian history. This event brings together eight scholars at the cutting edge of Tangut studies to explore this lost civilization, its language, religion, and culture.
