THE EURASIA STUDIES SOCIETY (TESS)
THE EURASIA STUDIES SOCIETY (TESS) is a British and European based research society formed by a group of academics and postgraduates following the 2011 SOAS Central Asia, the Caucasus and Eurasia Symposium (26th February).
TESS is organised jointly by academics and postgraduate students in Britain, the European Union, those countries associated with Eurasia (and beyond). It is intended to be a forum in which researchers can meet at conferences and seminars held bi-annually and exchange ideas, present work, receive critical feedback and liaise with scholars.
TESS is primarily interested in the Eurasian region including Europe and Asia, especially the Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Mongolia and Western China (Xinjiang). Scholars working on the neighbouring regions of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, South and North Korea and Japan are also welcome to join TESS, especially if they are studying cross-regional and cultural issues.
Research topics of TESS include the following areas: History, culture and anthropology; Arts, music and architecture; Economics, business studies and geography; Social change, religion and civil society; and Energy, security and geo-politics.
Membership of TESS is free and we welcome new members from all countries and backgrounds.
Welcome,
Dr. Sevket Hylton Akyildiz.
