Asian Studies ReviewAsian Studies Review is listed in the Social Sciences Citation Index® and Arts and Humanities Citation Index®. |
Asian Studies Review is the flagship publication of the Asian Studies Association of Australia and publishes refereed articles of the highest quality on all aspects of modern Asian studies. The journal is multidisciplinary and adopts a critical approach to studies of modern Asia, including both established disciplines as well as newly emerging areas of research. We welcome new research papers from a wide range of fields and disciplines, including, but not limited to:
- Anthropology
- Cultural studies
- Diasporic studies
- Economics
- Environmental studies
- Film and media studies
- Gender and sexuality studies
- Health sciences
- History
- Human geography
- International relations
- Language and literature
- Media
- Migration
- Philosophy
- Politics
- Popular and youth cultures
- Queer studies
- Religion
- Sociology
- Transnational and globalisation studies
"State of the art" essays and surveys of major intellectual trends in Asian countries are particularly sought. The journal also incorporates a strong book review section, and guest-edited "special issues" are an increasingly prominent feature. At a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to find publishers for edited collections, academic journals are becoming important sites for thematic groupings of papers that emerge from conferences, workshops, and collaborative research projects.
