imagining global asia (iga) is a collective that takes Asian Studies beyond the classroom to investigate the challenges, victories and shifting identities of Asian cultures and people in a global world. iga combines educational and research initiatives with public events, multimedia projects, publications and web resources to foster an ongoing dialogue about imminent economic, political and cultural issues facing Asia today. iga examines these issues via the lens of media technologies focusing on the experiences of people who face the daily impacts of these shifting tides of globalization.
