The Yale Central Asia Initiative is organizing a workshop next spring for advanced graduate students and early-stage postgraduate scholars to share and develop their work on topics in the study of Central Asia, within any discipline and from any period. The workshop, on May 25-26 2026, will be hosted by KIMEP University in Astana, Kazakhstan. We particularly encourage applications from scholars in or from Central Asia and neighboring countries, including Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, and the Caucasus.
