Call for Proposals - Education About Asia Journal
CALL FOR PROPOSALS NOW OPEN!
Education About Asia (EAA) is an invaluable and unique resource for teachers, students, and anyone with an interest in Asia. Articles and reviews cover a wide range of topics and time periods—from ancient to modern history, language, literature, geography, religion, youth and popular culture. Articles in EAA are intended to provide educators and academics in the humanities and social sciences with basic understanding of Asia-related content. Qualified referees evaluate all manuscripts submitted for consideration.
EAA is widely read by undergraduate and secondary school instructors, many of whom utilize articles from the journal as student readings. Over the past year, the online archives have received close to 900,000 page views, representing close to sixty percent of all traffic to the AAS website.
Manuscripts selected for publication should be written in prose that is accessible for high school and/or undergraduate instructors and students. Please consult the Author Guidelines before submitting a proposal, paying particular attention to Feature Article (3,000 to 4,000 words) and Teaching Resources Essay (2,000 to 3,000 words) word-count ranges. Authors who are unfamiliar with EAA should also read sample articles and essays that are archived at the same site. There are close to 2,000 articles—feature articles, lesson plans, interviews, classroom resources, and book and film reviews—to view and download for free.
As EAA relaunches online, we also welcome innovative proposals and ideas for multimedia content (video overviews, podcasts, interviews, etc.) with an emphasis on practical materials immediately applicable to classroom teaching and use.
Prospective authors should submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract and 100-word (maximum) author bio to EAAeditor@asianstudies.org. We accept proposals on a rolling basis, but the deadline to be considered for Spring 2026 publication is May 1, 2025.
