Mission Statement
The Modernist Studies in Asia Network (MSIA) aims to support and advance the study of modernism in Asia. Attentive to modernism’s manifestations in and connections to Asia itself, while also creating a space for the discussion of modernist cultures in other parts of the world, the MSIA aspires to facilitate robust dialogues and collaboration between modernist scholars within and beyond Asia.
The MSIA is affiliated with the Modernist Studies Association.
