Greenland, Sally

Sally Greenland studies the complexities of the Mongol Empire and its successor states. Her dissertation investigates early Mongol conceptions and expressions of political culture and authority by examining the office of the Great Khan and the individuals (both men and women, elected and non-elected) who occupied the office in the Early Imperial and Imperial periods. Sally’s broader academic interests include the history of military engagement and militarization, the political cultures of Inner Asia, and nomadism on the Eurasian Steppe. Sally holds M.A.s in East Asian Languages and Cultures and in International and World History from Columbia, and an M.Sc. in International History (with distinction) from the London School of Economics. She has published in journals such as the Central Asiatic Journal and Mongolian Studies. Sally is currently a participating scholar in the Getty Foundation's Mongol Connections project, led by the Courtauld Institute.
