Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed teaching journal of the Association for Asian Studies. Our approximately 1,800 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. Most of our subscribers teach and work in history, the social sciences, or the humanities.
We are developing a special section that will be published in spring 2014 on teaching Asia through field trips and experiential learning. We are not seeking manuscripts where authors address study abroad programs of one semester or longer. We seek articles by secondary school and university survey-level instructors that focus upon a wide range of short term activities including study tours in Asia, visits to Asian communities in North America or elsewhere, field trips to art or history museums, or any assignment or project at the secondary school or university survey level in which students learn about Asia by experiential activities other than exclusively didactic learning (lectures, reading, or film).
Prospective authors should be aware that approximately fifty percent of our readers teach at the undergraduate level and the rest are secondary or middle school teachers. Please consult the EAA guidelines, available on the website 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 November 10, 2013. Prospective authors are welcome to email me at the address below if they have questions.
