Call for Contributors: 

Collaborative Frontiers: HBCUs and Global Academic Programs and Partnerships in Asian Studies and Asia  (A part of the HBCU International Footprint Book Series, to be published by Star Scholar Press.)

We invite proposals for a chapter in the volume above on Collaborative Frontiers.  The volume is conceived as a way to showcase, delineate and foster discussion about HBCUs’ involvement in the programmatic and collaborative partnership arena in Asian Studies and Asia, whether it be with countries in East Asia, South Asia, or South-East Asia.  If you have been a part of such a collaborative experience in the Asian sphere, we invite you to write a chapter that will allow you to share your experiences. We urge you to discuss the evolution of such collaborations, and to frame your contributions, whether they relate to study abroad programs, faculty research, academic curriculum, student exchanges or partnerships, in a theoretical and methodological framework and to provide statistical data and evidence wherever relevant, including lessons learned.  

Please send your 2-4 page proposal that outlines how you will address the questions raised above to the editors, ‘DImeji Togunde (dtogunde@spelman.edu) and Tinaz Pavri (tpavri@spelman.edu) .
