East Asia and West Asias: Dialogues in Past, Present, and Future Worldmaking
We are pleased to announce the upcoming workshop “East Asia and West Asias: Dialogues in Past, Present, and Future Worldmaking,” to be held at the Historische Sternwarte (Geismar Landstraße 11, 37083 Göttingen) on December 5–6, 2025.
Bringing together an international group of scholars from East Asia, West Asia, Europe, and North America, this two-day event explores the multiple historical, intellectual, and cultural entanglements that have shaped Asian worldmaking across time. Through panels, book talks, and roundtables, the workshop examines mobility, Islamic networks, the question of the state, and the shifting horizons of regional and global interconnection.
