Tatiana Linkoeva will be discussing her ACLS Comparative Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society grant application for planning a Global Asia network of scholars focused on China’s frontier and borderland people. The specific focus of this project is on the nomadic people of northern China — Mongols, Buryats, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and Uyghur — who found themselves in disputed territory between the Russian and the Qing empires, and later the Japanese empire.  Her project is called, “Beyond Manchukuo: new perspectives on war and religion in China’s northern frontiers, 1895-1945.” 

This project opens the door to wide range of Global Asia collaborative conversations. Please come to discuss it with us at the Friday Colloquium.
