The Newsletter 97 Spring 2024

The Newsletter is published by IIAS 3 times a year, and distributed in both electronic and paper formats. Each issue includes a number of research essays, reviews of Asian studies publications, news about IIAS projects and programmes, a featured art exhibition, and pages edited by our regional partners. Order your free copy through iias.subscribe@iias.nl. 

In this Focus, we look at roads broadly speaking as they epitomise the diverse pathways through and around which people devise their own sense of belonging and becoming. The articles assembled, presented initially for the conference “Himalayan Journeys,” are ethnographically informed case studies about people’s mobile engagement with their social and physical landscape.
