CFP: "Teaching About Asia Through Youth Culture," spec. iss of EAA (journal; 20 Aug; winter 08)

Reminder: A number of EALC students have had articles in EAA (including Xiao Hui in the most recent issue). It's a great way to get your feet wet in publishing. Articles in EAA are relatively short and manageable. Why not give it a shot!

Call for Asia and Youth Culture Manuscripts: EAA Winter 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 are evaluated by qualified referees.

We are in the process of developing a special section in the winter 2008
issue entitled "Teaching About Asia Through Youth Culture." 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 how
popular culture influences young people in Asia and perceptions of Asia
among young people elsewhere. We are seeking manuscripts about all areas of
Asia. Although we welcome manuscripts on various aspects of youth culture,
we are particularly interested in the ways that digital communications,
entertainment, and education are affecting Asian youth, intercultural
contact, and globalization. Prospective authors should be aware that
approximately fifty 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 August 20, 2008.


Cordially,
Lucien Ellington
