Recent Events in Asian Studies

The Asian Studies program and the Dresher Center for the Humanities collaborated on two events earlier this month: Indians on Indian Lands: Intersections of Race, Caste, and Indigeneity featuring Dr. Nishant Upadhyay and Food, Empire, & Global History featuring Dr. Simone Cinotto's new book on Italy's "gastrofascism" in Ethiopia. The latter was also co-sponsored by Global Studies, American Studies, Political Science, and Media and Communication Studies.
