Mongolia & Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU)
Department of Anthropology, University of Cambridge, UK.
Self-description:
"The Mongolia & Inner Asia Studies Unit 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. [...] Of particular interest to the Unit are studies on: the rise of political and economic nationalism, the introduction of markets and changing concepts of property, the reemergence of religions, the negotiation of ethnicity and identity, urbanisation and demography, concepts of modernity and post-modernity, environmental adaptions and conservation, and history and historiography in the aftermath of decades of socialist governance."
