About the Center for Global Asia at NYU Shanghai
The Center for Global Asia at NYU Shanghai serves as the hub within the NYU Global Network University system to promote the study of Asian interactions, both historical and contemporary. The overall objective of the Center is to provide global societies with information on the contexts for the reemerging connections between the various parts of Asia through research and teaching. This includes exploring how the polities and societies of Asia have interacted over time and are now interacting again on broad fronts. The Center has recently received a Luce Foundation grant for the study of Indian Ocean port cities. The Center offers research fellows the possibility of participating in its Annual Conference and in a Young Scholars Symposium co-sponsored with other fellowship programs at NYU Shanghai.
