Re: Central Eurasia Course Syllabi
Dear Scholars/Students of Central Eurasia:
Several people have suggested this idea, so I can't claim it as my
own. We think it would be a wonderful resource if we can gather a
number of syllabi from courses on Central Eurasia (~~Central Asia)
as a source for inspiration to those who are designing courses or
just looking for worthwhile readings on the region.
My request to you:
- If you have taught a course on Central Eurasia, please send a
copy of the syllabus.
- If you have taken a good course on Central Eurasia recently,
please send a copy of the syllabus and/or the contact information
of the person who taught the course. Before posting such a
syllabus, we will obtain the permission of the course instructor.
We will make these available to everyone via the <Central Eurasian
Studies World Wide> website. They will be converted into PDF
(Adobe Acrobat) format, formatted so that those who download the
file cannot select and copy text (this is to encourage reading and
discourage copying pieces of the text).
The instructor will, of course, be duly credited. The index of
syllabi will include the instructor's contact information if they
wish (and the syllabus itself may include or exclude contact
information).
The region encompassed by "Central Eurasia" is broad, extending from
Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, through Siberia, Central Asia and
Afghanistan, to the Caucasus, the Black Sea region and the Volga
Basin. Of interest are all time periods and disciplinary
approaches. Syllabi in any language are welcome.
This initiative is in conjunction with the Central Eurasian Studies
Society (CESS), a scholarly association aimed at promoting exchange
of information and perspectives among scholars and students of the
region, and working to foster high standards of scholarship in the
field. Note that the CESS publishes a journal -- the Central
Eurasian Studies Review (CESR), which includes a section devoted to
"Educational Resources and Developments" -- possibly also of
interest to you. See the CESS website at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/
and the Central Eurasian Studies Review on-line at
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cess/CESS_Review.html
Please send your syllabi to <casww@fas.harvard.edu>. Ideally they
should be sent as attachments in MS Word format. This will allow us
to convert them to PDF format with maximal readability and minimal
file size. You can also send a scanned version of the syllabus to
the above address, or a paper version to:
John Schoeberlein
Harvard Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus
625 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 262
Cambridge, MA 02139 USA
Your help in this initiative will be a real contribution to building
our field of study. Good teaching materials for this field of study
are relatively scarce, and they are often particularly hard to find
out about because of the state of the field -- rapidly developing,
weakly integrated, and widely dispersed.
Thank you for you attention and assistance.
Sincerely,
John Schoeberlein
