Academic
The Michigan Journal of Asian Studies (MJAS) was founded in 2011 for the purpose of offering undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to publish their research or analytical papers relevant to the field of Asian studies in a peer-reviewed journal.In addition to providing students an opportunity for academic publication, MJAS wishes to mentor students interested in Asian studies through the establishment of a forum for academic discourse on campus. MJAS is committed to contributing to the larger community of scholarship through our open-access website. MJAS accepts submissions from around the globe in the social sciences and humanities concerning Asian studies. Where opportunities exist, other journals confine their dialogues so narrowly as to include only one region, which consequently limits discussions that transcend regional boundaries. MJAS supports a broader scope of Asian culture, which consequently allows MJAS to accept more submissions and publish more frequently. Furthermore, it is the intention of MJAS to deepen appreciation and encourage interest into the rich and diverse cultures found in greater Asia, which is facilitated by affording students the venues in which to participate in the discussion.Besides appealing to those students who wish to publish, MJAS is useful for students at large in the field because MJAS archives its publications online, free to the public. With respect to MJAS’s component on campus, MJAS wishes to manifest its presence through hosting various meetings: recruitment for both editors and would-be authors; mini-presentations from students preparing research projects; and appearances by professors to lecture or discuss their current research in the field of Asian studies.
