The CAS theme for the 2018-19 academic year will be��Asian Connectivities.�� With the idea of “connectivity” we highlight not simply the fact that a dynamic web of connections exists (and has��long existed) across Asia, but that those connections depend upon specific material infrastructures, media networks, institutions, technologies, policies, and translations in order to occur.�� Connectivity, then, draws our attention beyond connection as an already-established given, to the��ability to connect.�� Engseng Ho recently wrote in��The Journal of Asian Studies, that the study of Asia can “shed light on the social shape of societies that are mobile, spatially expansive, and interactive with one another.” ��Connectivity establishes the basis for such an approach.�� With��Asian Connectivities��we seek to explore the historical, cultural, and social contexts in which connections are made possible.
