Dear Peter and Trent,Thanks so much for this information and these references. A few other people have replied off-list as well. I'll compile a bibliography based on these responses and post it shortly. My student is thrilled!
Thank you to everyone who has responded! It's quite a rich area of research, it seems.
All best,

Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed
teaching journal of the Association for Asian Studies. Our print and online
readers include undergraduate instructors as well as high school and middle
school teachers. Our articles are intended to provide educators and academics
in the humanities and social sciences who are often not specialists with basic
understanding of Asia-related content. Professors and high school teachers also
utilize many EAA articles and essays as student readings. Qualified
referees evaluate all manuscripts submitted for consideration.
We are developing a special section for
spring 2020 titled “Asian Philosophies and Religions.” This special section
will include a wide variety of articles and essays on both philosophical and
religious traditions commonly associated with Asia, as well as Western
philosophies and religions such as liberal democracy, Marxism, or Christianity
that substantially affect parts of Asia. A significant number of special
section articles and essays will hopefully focus upon contemporary practices
and beliefs, as well as the impact of Asian governments on the human and civil
rights of religious practitioners. At least two articles on religious festivals
and holidays specifically designed for middle school teachers will appear in
this special section.
Some examples of possible topics for the
special section (by no means all inclusive) include Shinto in Contemporary
Japan, Hindu Nationalism and Indian Civil Society, the People’s Republic of
China and Religious Minorities, Islam and Indonesia: Civil Society and
Politics, Christianity in Contemporary South Korea, Confucius in the Xi Jinping
era, Teaching Middle School Students about Shinto and Buddhism in Early Japan,
Asian Philosophies and Religions in World History Survey Courses, Vietnamese
Millennials and Spirituality, Teaching Asian Philosophies and Religions through
Literature, and Teaching Asian Religious Festivals and Holidays in Middle
Schools.
Please consult Submissions to Education
About Asia included in the site below:
(http://www.asian-studies.org/Publications/EAA/Submissions) before submitting a
manuscript for this special section. Please note our relatively modest feature
article and teaching resources manuscript word-count ranges. Prospective
authors who are unfamiliar with EAA should also read archived articles
and essays available at no charge in the website below my signature.
Since approximately half of EAA
readers teach at the undergraduate level and roughly half of readers are
secondary school teachers, we seek suitable manuscripts that are useful for
instructors and/or students in undergraduate survey and middle/high school
courses such as government, world history, economics, human geography, and
cultural anthropology as well as introductory Asia-related survey courses
including business and management classes. We are not interested in
manuscripts that would be intended for upper-level undergraduate courses in
Asian studies. We are especially appreciative of manuscripts that are
potentially useful at both the lower-level undergraduate and secondary school
levels. Manuscripts selected for publication should be written in prose that is
easily accessible for high school and/or undergraduate non-specialist
instructors and students. We encourage prospective authors to use a prose style
much closer to that of a journalist than the prose style of conventional
academic journals. The number of endnotes in manuscripts should be minimal
compared to what is published in more traditional scholarly journals.
Prospective authors are strongly encouraged
to email me 1-3 paragraph descriptions of possible manuscript ideas and will
receive prompt replies to queries.
Manuscripts for this special section should
be submitted on or before January 7th, 2020.
