Title: Inner Asia
ISSN: 1464-8172
Description: We are delighted to announce the recent acquisition of Inner Asia, the journal of the Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit at Cambridge (MIASU), published twice yearly and edited by the Unit’s principal scholars, Caroline Humphrey and David Sneath, along with Uradyn E.Bulag of City University, New York. ...
The Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) was founded in 1986 as a group within the Department of Social Anthropology to promote research and teaching relating to Mongolia and Inner Asia on an inter-disciplinary basis. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region within and without the University of Cambridge, and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding.
It is currently one of the very few research-oriented forums in the world in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region. The unit is also concerned with how ‘Inner Asia’ as an object of study is being reconfigured, from the late-nineteenth century discourse of orientalism to contemporary critical studies of economic and cultural transformation.
