Toronto Studies in Central and Inner Asia
Central and Inner Asia Seminar (CIAS), University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Self-description: "The Central and Inner Asia Seminar (CIAS) is dedicated to studying the cultures and activities of ancient and modern nomadic peoples that occupy the region from the China Sea to Eastern Europe, and the relationship they have to the surrounding sedentary cultures. The CIAS grew out of the Canada-Mongolia Association in 1990 and at that time began sponsoring a regular series of annual lectures. In 1993 the individual lectures were replaced by an annual seminar and the proceedings from these have been printed in five volumes of working papers [Edited by Michael Gervers & Wayne Schlepp - ed]."
Site contents: TOCs of: 'Nomadic Diplomacy, Destruction and Religion from the Pacific to the Adriatic' (1994); 'Cultural Contact, History and Ethnicity in Inner Asia' (1996); 'Historical Themes & Current Change in Central & Inner Asia' (1999); 'Religion, Customary Law and Nomadic Technology' (2000); 'Continuity and Change in Central and Inner Asia' (2002).
