Call for Asian Intercultural Contact Manuscripts: EAA Fall 2009

(Please cross-post to all relevant listservs)

Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed teaching journal of the Association for Asian Studies. Our readers include undergraduate instructors as well as high school and middle school teachers. Our articles are intended to provide educators, who are often not specialists, with basic understanding of Asia-related content. Qualified referees evaluate all manuscripts submitted for consideration.

We are in the process of developing a special section in the fall 2009 issue entitled “Asian Intercultural Contacts: Diasporas and Minorities.” In this special section, it is hoped that articles will be published where authors develop manuscripts that describe the historical and contemporary experiences of Asian ethnic and minority groups as they have encountered new cultures in both Asia and other parts of the world. Although the primary focus of the special section will be on the experience of Asians, we also will consider manuscripts where authors focus upon the experience of non-Asians in Asian cultures. Prospective authors should be aware that approximately sixty to sixty-five percent of our readers are secondary or middle school teachers and the rest teach at the undergraduate level.

We are most interested in manuscripts that are useful for survey-level courses. Prospective authors should consult the EAA guidelines, available on the Web site under my signature, before submitting a manuscript for this special section. Prospective authors are also encouraged to share possible manuscript ideas with me via email. The deadline for initial receipt of manuscripts for this special section is May 10, 2009.


Cordially,
Lucien Ellington
