This workshop aims to collect histories of travel, enchantment and wonder in Southeast Asia across the longue durée. In doing so, it brought together scholars whose work spans the geographic and temporal scope of societies, from the medieval era to the modern period, with a focus on ‘magical’ connections. The workshop argues, in trying to write a connected social and cultural history of the Bay of Bengal, it is essential that the histories of religious enchantment, religious history, mobile saints, missionaries, mediums, Gods, spirits and other travellers be collected as well.
