Featured Research Projects
Sponsored by the Henry Luce Foundation and by New York University, the Global Asia Program brings together scholars, educators, artists, students, and activists to explore the many forms of mobility that shape Asian spaces all around the Indian Ocean and Eurasia, from ancient times to the present, and, after 1500, all around the world. Our Collaborative Research Projects are designed to enhance the work of individual participants and also generate collectively curated open access digital resources to enrich teaching, research, and general public learning on the mobile interweaving of human environments. Projects connect many fields of study and creativity to form collaborative spaces of diverse, inclusive knowledge production, flexibly adaptive in a rapidly changing world. (Here is an overview of our Luce Grant agenda.)
Support
We support projects in three ways. (1) We hire graduate student as project assistant collaborators who integrate their Global Asia work into career development. (2) We provide modest research support for faculty and students to develop Global Asia courses and online resources. (3) We support Workshops to bring collaborators together for project work, online and in person.
