James A. Millward is a historian of China and Inner (Central) Asia. At IAS, he will complete a historiographic critique of tropes in Chinese history that bolster Han-centric narratives and obscure the fabulous diversity of the Chinese past: “sinicization,” “the tribute system,” and “Chinese dynasties.”
