>
>Asian/Asian-American Studies
>
>An increased commitment to interdisciplinarity is taking place in the
>field of Asian American Studies. Historians are borrowing from
>literary theory. Literary scholars are borrowing from theatre and
>performance studies. Political science scholars are drawing on
>community studies. Perhaps in response to the racial profiling
>climate before and after 9/11, perhaps because of a recognition of
>common concerns across racial and ethnic groups, Asian Americanists
>have, once again, retraced a well-worn path of doing scholarship that
>crosses disciplinary fields. The Asian/Asian American Cultural
>Studies program area invites papers focusing on cultural studies,
>interdisciplinary scholarship, contemporary cultural politics, and
>activism. Essays on transnationalism, diaspora, class, intra- and
>inter-racial studies, mixed race studies, feminist studies, queer
>studies, critical race theory, and popular culture that fall under of
>the rubric of Asian/Asian American Studies are especially encouraged.
>Note: e-mail submissions will not be accepted for this Program Area;
>please submit proposals via postal mail.
