James Millward is a historian of China and Inner (Central) Asia. At IAS he will complete a historiographic critique of tropes in Chinese history (sinicization, the tribute system, and Chinese dynasties) that bolster Han-centric narratives and obscure the diversity of the Chinese past. He is also working on silk road musical exchange.
