Welcoming the New Year: The Year of the Snake
4th Fl Lecture Room, The Siam Society -- 300, Members and Students Free
The Siam Society presents a lecture by Patricia Bjaaland Welch. Given that snakes are not among those animals that are an integral part of a farming or herding tradition, nor do they fall into the ‘cute and cuddly’ category, how in the world did they earn their place as one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac? This and other questions are those that will be addressed by our speaker, who returns to us this year to look at the Chinese zodiac animal of the year: the snake.
