The Mongolia & Inner Asia Studies Unit is a dynamic interdisciplinary research unit at the University of Cambridge based within the Department of Social Anthropology.

Current research themes include:

  • Political formations in regional contexts of Inner Asia.
  • The Book – Tibetan and Mongolian sacred books: text, technologies and transmission.
  • Cities and borders –  interfaces and interactions across political frontiers in Inner Asia.
  • The Environment – pastoralism, land-use, and climate change.
