Subject: Asian Highlands Perspectives--cfp
***********************************************************

Asian Highlands Perspectives (AHP) is seeking articles and book reviews
for its sixth annual collection of essays.
 

About AHP:

AHP is a peer reviewed, open access, trans-disciplinary journal focusing
on the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions, including the Southeast
Asian Massif, Himalayan Massif, the Extended Eastern Himalayas, the
Mongolian Plateau, and other contiguous areas. Cross-regional
commonalities in history, culture, language, and socio-political context
invite investigations of an interdisciplinary nature not served by current
academic forums. AHP contributes to the regional research agendas of
Sinologists, Tibetologists, Mongolists, and South and Southeast Asianists,
while also forwarding theoretical discourse on grounded theory,
interdisciplinary studies, and collaborative scholarship.
 
AHP welcomes a wide range of submissions from those with an interest in
the area. Given the dearth of current knowledge of this culturally complex
area, we encourage submissions of descriptive accounts of local realities
– especially by authors from communities in the Asian Highlands – as well
as theory-oriented articles. We publish items of irregular format – long
articles, short monographs, photo essays, fiction, auto-ethnography, etc.
Authors receive a PDF version of their published work. Potential
contributors are encouraged to consult previous issues.
 

Deadlines:

Expressions of interests:   20 February 2014
First drafts:                1 May 2014
Expected publication:       late 2014

AHP is also seeking reviewers for the following books. Reviews will be
published on a rolling basis throughout the year, and hence will accept
reviews at any time. Those completed before October 15, 2014 will also be
included in our annual volume. Please check with us first to ensure your
selected book is not already under review.
