MIASU 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. The unit aims to promote and encourage study of this important region and to provide training and support for research to all those concerned with its understanding. MIASU is currently one of the very few research-oriented forums in the world in which scholars can address the contemporary and historical problems of the region. The unit is also concerned with how "Inner Asia" as an object of study is being reconfigured, from the late-nineteenth century discourse of orientalism to contemporary critical studies of economic and cultural transformation.
Inner Asia is published twice yearly and edited by the MIASU’s principal scholars, Caroline Humphrey
, David Sneath and Uradyn E. Bulag.
