This tutorial will introduce historical materials produced either in the Qing-period (1636-1912) borderlands or for the conquest and governance of these regions. The tutorial will pay particular attention to materials concerning the Inner Asian (or Central Asian) domains of inner and outer Mongolia, Xinjiang (Zungharia and the Tarim basin), Qinghai, and Tibet. Although the focus will be on Chinese-language sources, materials in other non-Sinitic languages may be examined depending on the abilities and interests of the participants. Participants are expected to submit three to four primary source analyses for assessment.
