The Center for Interdisciplinary Area Studies (ZIRS) at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, and the Center for Global Asia at New York University Shanghai, China, collaboratively offer a series of three interconnected Summer Schools on the topic of “The Indian Ocean World and Eurasian Connections”. The series is funded through a grant from the Volkswagen Foundation. After two successful Summer Schools in July 2016 and 2017, applications are now invited for the third Summer School in 2018, which will take place in Shanghai, July 30-August 12, 2018. It will focus on the sub-theme of “Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, and Contemporary Connectives of Indian Ocean History.”
