Organised by the ERC CAPASIA project, this event features a discussion on the history of early-modern Asia.
Capitalising on the concentration of scholars in and around the ERC-funded CAPASIA project (capasia.eu), this one-day workshop brings together scholars interested in early-modern Asia at the EUI. The workshop seeks to foreground new research on the circulation of people, commodities, ideas, and capital across Asia during this period. The papers will cover a wide range of perspectives, including economic, environmental, cultural, and art historical approaches. Speakers will circulate a short paper in advance of the workshop and deliver a 15-minute in-person presentation
