title = "A/Geography: Unsettling the Geographical Imagination of Global Asias",
abstract = "Is geography tied to empire? How is empire tied to mapping? How is mapping tied to knowledge? And how do metaphors of spatiality inform epistemology? Refreshing Edward Said{\textquoteright}s ideas on imagined geographies, this book section (conceptualized as a {\textquoteleft}convergence{\textquoteright}) brings together three scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to explore the construction and deployment of the geographical designation in the study of Asia. The authors engage in a dialogue addressing these questions, followed by three individual essays and a pedagogy forum that provides teaching resources and assignment suggestions.",
