Centre of Contemporary Central Asia and the Caucasus CCCAC SOAS, University of London

SOAS Centre of Contemporary Central Asia & the Caucasus

SOAS currently hosts a multi-disciplinary team of scholars working on Central Asia and the Caucasus, the largest grouping in any single institution in the U.K. and Europe. Alongside those engaged in the study of contemporary problems of post-Soviet transition, there is a broader grouping of scholars involved in the study of neighbouring areas (Iran and Afghanistan) and the archaeology, religion, linguistics, pre-history and history of Central Asia and the Caucasus, lending breadth and depth to the study of the region.

The principal role of the Centre is to promote, coordinate and disseminate information relating to, the academic study of Central Asia and the Caucasus across the disciplines and to act as a resource for academic, governmental, non-governmental and business constituencies with an interest in Central Asia and the Caucasus. It does so through the research and publications of its staff, new teaching programmes, an established seminar series and special events.

Our Centre Chair says:

It is my pleasure to welcome you all to a new academic year, which promises to be a busy one for the Centre of Contemporary Central Asia and the Caucasus. We have a full programme of events coming up in 2021/22, including our regular evening seminar series, so do keep an eye on our regular e-bulletins.

We produce, on a regular basis during term time, a News and Updates eBulletin which provides information about the activities of the Centre of Contemporary Central Asia & the Caucasus.

The eBulletin highlights the latest events, funding and knowledge being shared and other topical opportunities that we think will be of interest to you.
