    Modern Art Asia is a new journal dedicated to the arts of Asia from the eighteenth century to today, presenting postgraduate research from historical perspectives and international news on Asian art. For the rising generation of Asian art scholars, these works exist in a globalized interdisciplinary context at the intersection of scholarship, criticism, and the market. Founded to address the need within art history and art journalism for a space dedicated to the arts of Asia, Modern Art Asia combines peer-reviewed articles with insightful commentary and the latest exhibition reviews from international correspondents, providing a new forum for exchange between scholars that crosses the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines, and engages with a general readership through the addition of journalistic writing on art.

    I went to Bates from 1995-1999 and although I didn't study in the Asian Studies Program, I can only recommend you this small but great liberal-art college if you have an opportunity to go and teach there. Although the weather might be bit tough during the Winter for those who don't like the cold too much, it is a very cosy campus, with great infrastructures, a dynamic community, and really nice people working there. At least, these are the good souvenirs I have from my time there. But I have seen that they have developed a lot of things since I left, especially a strong bend for ecological issues and sustainable development initiatives. They also make it an everyday and personal duty to challenge each other intellectually and you are really required to give the best of you, which I find a very stimulating environment. At the same time, they have a good sense of collaboration, so they are also very supportive if you have good ideas!

    "'BL' (Boys' Love), a genre of male homosexual narratives (consisting of manga, novels, animations, games, films, and so forth) written by and for women, has recently been acknowledged, by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars alike, as a significant component of Japanese popular culture. The aesthetic and style of Japanese BL have also been assumed, deployed and transformed by female fans transnationally. The current thrust of transnational BL practices raises a number of important issues relating to socio/cultural constructs of BL localization and globalization. Scholarly endeavors in relation to BL can be enriched by further research concerning the activities of transnational BL fans, fan communities, fandom, and the production of fan fiction. Most previous BL fan studies have remained circumscribed to Japan and North America. Therefore, in order to further develop transnational BL fan studies, we are seeking contributors who are engaged in the exploration of non-Japanese and non-North American contexts (e.g. Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and others). Transnational BL fan studies may also be incorporated into the broader socio/political critical frameworks offered by studies in economics, gender/sexuality, race/class, and other areas. "

    "Visualizing Cultures was launched at MIT in 2002 to explore the potential of the Web for developing innovative image-driven scholarship and learning. The VC mission is to use new technology and hitherto inaccessible visual materials to reconstruct the past as people of the time visualized the world (or imagined it to be). Topical units to date focus on Japan in the modern world and early-modern China. The thrust of these explorations extends beyond Asia per se, however, to address "culture" in much broader ways-cultures of modernization, war and peace, consumerism, images of "Self" and "Others," and so on."
