Studies on Asia Journal
Studies on Asia is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal sponsored by the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs. It is online and open access. The Editors welcome manuscripts on any and all aspects of Asia across time and place in any social science or humanities disciplines. In addition to original articles, there are book reviews plus two other sections: Resource Notes features materials, methods, and ideas from/for the classroom and research, while Notes from the Field includes short reports about preliminary research findings, expert reviews or summaries of exhibits, special events, and roundtables of distinction. Studies on Asia welcomes manuscripts on any and all aspects of Asia across time and place in social sciences and humanities, including current and historical issues, pedagogy and original English-language translations. Tzushiu Chiu’s translation of Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian’s short play, "Hiding from the Rain/Duoyü" (1981), was published in the Spring 2005 issue of Studies on Asia.
Studies on Asia was on hiatus since 2016, but it was relaunched in 2021 with new editorships and editorial board. May 2022 issue included a new section called Resource Notes. This section examines how various resources and methods might be applied to teaching. June 2023 issue expanded the Book Review section to include works of fiction authored by scholars in the field of Asia.
