Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review’s next issue—volume 9, issue 1—will be its last. Limited print copies of Cross-Currents are now available for a 50% discount through June 1.
Since 2012, Cross-Currents has offered readers up-to-date research findings, emerging trends, and cutting-edge perspectives concerning East Asian history and culture from scholars in both English-speaking and Asian language-speaking academic communities.
A joint enterprise of the Research Institute of Korean Studies (RIKS) at Korea University and the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at the University of California, Berkeley, Cross-Currents has balanced issues traditionally addressed by Western humanities and social science journals with issues of immediate concern to scholars in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
Most issues include multiple special sections, guest edited by scholars in the field. The following issues are typically $15.00 per issue, but are now available for $7.50. Postage is included for mailing addresses within the U.S. For shipping outside the U.S., please add $5.00 per issue.
