TAGLIACOZZO, Eric
Visiting Research Fellow
Area Studies I
Most of my work has focused on the history of borders, smuggling, trade,
and disapora in Southeast Asian History. My new project builds on
many of those methodologies and concerns, but pushes the research in new,
religious directions as well.
Research Interests
My current research focuses on writing a history of the pilgrimage to Mecca,
(or Hajj), from Southeast Asia to the Arabian Peninsula, earliest times
to the present. I am interested in exploring this phenomenon from both
historical and ethnographic points of view, and across the breadth and
width of Southeast Asia as a region.
