Dear MCLCers,

I sent this CFP around a few months ago, but the deadline has been
extended and the scope broadened.

Cheers,

===========================================================

The submission deadline for the Spring 2014 issue of Asia Pacific
Perspectives has been extended to Monday, December 16, 2013.

The Editors of Asia Pacific Perspectives invite scholars and graduate
students to submit papers for publication in the spring 2014 issue. Asia
Pacific Perspectives is a peer-reviewed electronic journal published by
the University of San Francisco Center for the Pacific Rim. The editors
seek manuscripts of 8,000 words in length from all fields of the social
sciences and the humanities with relevance to the Asia Pacific/Pacific
Rim.   

All topics are welcome, and papers that focus on the theme of “Digital
Asia” with special reference to the Internet and wireless communications
are particularly encouraged. Submissions might include explorations of
literature, culture, economy, and society, including aspects of political
engagement, human rights, social networking, gender relations, free
speech, censorship, and e-commerce and entrepreneurship across the
Asia-Pacific region. This issue is being guest edited by Andrea
Lingenfelter, Kiriyama Fellow at the University of San Francisco Center
for the Pacific Rim. Dr Lingenfelter is a China scholar and a translator
of contemporary Chinese-language fiction and poetry. This past summer, she
was awarded a 2014 NEA Translation Fellowship.

Asia Pacific Perspectives (ISSN: 2167-1699) is published twice a year. Our
task is to inform public opinion through publications that express
divergent views and ideas that promote cross-cultural understanding,
tolerance, and the dissemination of knowledge.  The journal offers a forum
for the exchange of ideas from both established scholars in the field and
graduate students.

To submit a paper:

Submissions should be DOUBLE-SPACED and approximately 8,000 words in
length. Your name and affiliation should appear on a cover sheet. Do NOT
put your name in the body of your paper. Electronic copies must be in MS
Word or compatible format; tables, charts or images may be inserted in the
text document or be included as separate files. Further guidelines are
