Every researcher keeps a notebook to jot down vignettes, numbers, addresses, and coordinates. Looking back at it, some of it will be unintelligible, some scribbles won’t make any sense, and some pages will be filled with words in two, three, four languages.

If you’re like me, you wish you could have a peek into the notebooks of some of the best academics doing fieldwork in Central Asia, a vastly understudied region of the world.
