Scott Levi

Professor Levi's research focuses on the socio-economic history of early modern, pre-colonial Central Asia. In addition to multiple journal articles, book chapters and other publications, Professor Levi has authored The Indian Diaspora in Central Asia and its Trade, 1550-1900 (Leiden: E.J. Brill, 2002) and he has edited India and Central Asia: Commerce and Culture, 1500–1800 (Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2007). His current projects include a co-edited (with Ron Sela of Indiana University, Bloomington) anthology of Central Asian primary sources, and a history of the Khanate of Khoqand (1799-1876) that seeks to connect the Khanate's rapid rise and fall to larger Eurasian, and global, historical patterns.
