Stewart Gordon is a Senior Research Scholar at the South Asia Center of the University of Michigan. That said, he is anything but a stuffy academic. He has rambled by bus across Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. He has climbed Inca paths in Peru and boated up the Mekong and the Mississippi. Gordon has photographed antiquities in Cambodia and Paleolithic cave paintings in India and has served as a consultant for the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the Walt Disney Company and the American Queen steamboat. He writes regularly for Aramco World magazine. Gordon has received many awards including Woodrow Wilson and Fulbright fellowships and an Earhart Foundation writing grant. His 2008 book, “When Asia was the World”, became a bestseller and has been translated into eight languages. The National Endowment for the Humanities placed the book in more than 1000 libraries across the United States. His new teaching text, "A History of the World in Seven Themes" Is published by Oxford University Press. He currently lives in Ann Arbor.
