Conference | Inner Eurasia Then and Now: Legacies of Thought, Space, and Empire


Inner Eurasia has been, and continues to be, at the crossroads of civilizations and power contestations. more Much of these lands were once dominated by the Mongol, Russian, and Soviet empires, and at the frontier of Chinese and Ottoman influence. This cultural and institutional inheritance continues to impact the region. Bearing this in mind, the conference asks: how does the framework of legacies allow us to identify patterns across the region, and what effects have the region’s unique position and history had on processes, from revolution to reform? The conference considers Eurasia past and present, spanning from the Black Sea to Mongolia, from Siberia to South Asia. Stressing multi-disciplinarity, submissions have been welcomed from a variety of departments, programs, and centers. less
