These are the Islamic ecumenical regions of western and southern Asia, the Sino-centric world of East Asia, and the commerce laden Indian Ocean region.

The themes examined in this course will include technology, trade and communication, religious conflict and accommodation, women and gender, environment, and the rise of modern states.Fall.
