Call for Manuscripts: US, Asia, and the World, 1620-1914. EAA Fall 2011
(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. A
plurality of our readers teaches some form of world history, but some of
our secondary school teachers are also responsible for US History.
We are in the process of developing a special section entitled "US,
Asia, and the World, 1620-1914" for the fall 2011 issue of EAA. In this
special section, we invite authors to submit manuscripts that encompass
a wide range of US-Asia topics that focus upon interactions and
significant events, drawing from a wide range of areas of study
including the arts, diplomacy and politics, economics, military history,
and society and culture. We are looking for manuscripts concerning all
areas of Asia. We seek manuscripts both from historians of Asia and
scholars and teachers with expertise on the US and other parts of the
world. We are especially interested in manuscripts where authors address
US-Asia interactions that proved to have global impact.
Prospective authors should be aware that over 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 introductory survey-level courses at both the secondary and
undergraduate levels. Please consult the EAA guidelines, available on
the Web site under my signature, before submitting a manuscript for this
special section. Pay particular attention to feature and teaching
resources manuscript word-count ranges. Prospective authors are also
encouraged to share possible manuscript ideas with me via email. The
deadline for initial submission of manuscripts is May 10, 2011.
