Exploring the Anthropology of Mongolia and Inner Asia
I am the curator of Digital Mongolia, a digital archive of ethnographic materials related to Mongolia and surrounding areas of Inner Asia. Our focus area includes Mongolia itself, Inner Mongolia, the Buryat and Kalmyk areas of Russia, and ethnically Mongolian areas of Xinjiang and Kirghizstan. By presenting material evidence from ethnographic field research, our overall goal is to highlight the value of anthropological knowledge, methods, and perspectives to the general public, both “at home” and in the places in which we work. The archive contains more than 800 items from current and past ethnographic research in Inner Asia.
