Lively discussion of Andean self-sufficiency today; the ethics of engineering the environment and the reasons behind its success; and how Inka social organization, managed through the roads, khipu, and highly productive agriculture, allowed for the rise of the empire.
Andeanist Colin McEwan (Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection) asks, To what end is this deep knowledge of material and landscape employed? What is the nature of empire? He welcomes the discussion between specialists and nonspecialists that the symposium and exhibition will inspire.
