The Global Asia Colloquium
Friday 4:00-6:45, KJCC 701 (53 Wash. Sq. So.)
Instructor: David Ludden
This Global Asia graduate course is a research colloquium where faculty and grad students from NYU and elsewhere present and discuss their research. Hosted by the NYU Center for Global Asia, the Colloquium focuses on Asia in its broadest spatial definition and on the long- and short-term historical processes of human, connectivity, mobility, and territoriality that eventually embrace all the continents. The course provides an opportunity for students to learn about connective spatial histories of many kinds and allows them to focus on their own research projects, whatever they might be. The instructor meets students at various times and students do term projects of their own choice. Anyone working anywhere is welcome.

Global Asia represents a new approach to historical studies that combine social sciences and humanities. It is an open space of perpetual globalization, shaping regions, localities, cultures, economies, empires, states, and nations from ancient times to the present, all around the world. The Global Asia project is an exploration of very long-term globalization that decolonizes modernity; for when Europeans sailed the Atlantic and discovered a New world, they were heading to India, to acquire Asian products and participate in expansive Old World spaces of human connectivity which had long enriched Europe through the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
The Global Asia Colloquium explores the very long-term spatial expansion of human mobility and territorial order, which shaped everyday life for all peoples and places around the Silk Road, Indian Ocean, and South China Sea, and eventually, all around the world.
