CfP: Transnational Asia: An Online Interdisciplinary Journal – Call for Special Issues and Guest Editors

As we face a new year and new challenges, Asia and the world point to a more urgent need to explore diverse issues with new methods. Asia has one of the world’s most vocal democracies (Taiwan) and a democracy that is currently being tested in front of the world (South Korea); Asia has a strong yet stagnant economy (Japan) and the world’s fastest-growing one (India); Asia is known to have the highest number of enslaved workers today; South Asia routinely records the worst air quality and air pollution in the world, while East Asia has the worst carbon emissions globally. In this world, what can scholars of Asia and Transnational Asia explore, discuss, and critique to make a difference? Transnational Asia is currently accepting submissions for special issues. Potential guest editors are encouraged to contact transnational.asia[at]rice.edu. With the upcoming 2025 Association for Asian Studies meetings, Transnational Asia welcomes panel organizers’ inquiries about how to turn conference panels into special issues.
