Call for World History Manuscripts: EAA Fall 2008

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. Manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication in EAA are evaluated by qualified referees.

We are in the process of developing a special section in the fall 2008 issue entitled "Asia in World History: 1750-1914." This special section is the fourth in an EAA series and the dates in the title correspond to the National World History Standards "Eras." In this special section, it is hoped that articles will be published where authors develop manuscripts that will enable teachers and students to better understand Asia in modern world history. We are seeking manuscripts about all areas of Asia. We are also interested in Asia-related manuscripts on maritime, environmental, and economic history.

All manuscripts should be written for high-school and undergraduate world history and social science instructors. 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 20, 2008.

Cordially,
