Editor/Consultant: Professor Drew Gerstle

Type: Resource
Description: Started in October 2000, the Centre aims to become a world-class locus for comparative research on the literatures of Asia and Africa. As a joint SOAS/UCL project, the Centre is ideally positioned to achieve this goal. SOAS has one of the largest groups of specialists on the literatures of Asia and Africa in the world, with about forty staff and more than sixty research students. Literature specialists at UCL, which includes coverage of Western and Eastern Europe, the Americas, and the Slavonic world, complement the strengths of SOAS. The Centre is distinctive in having a structure which demands both interaction between scholars of Asia and Africa who are trained in the original languages with those studying Western literature, and interaction among the specialists of the many literatures of Asia and Africa. The Centre will also draw together an even broader range of people through its seminar and public lecture series.
