Journals: Seabirds Vulnerable to Climate Change, Anger in a Non-Ideal World, Living the Way of Tea + more

Asian Perspectives

Volume 62, Number 1 (2023)

The new issue shares the following introduction and welcomes a new editor:

You will note that several articles in this issue focus on the identification and interpretation of specific materials and technologies. The topics covered by four of the articles include rock art in early Mongolia, bone tools in prehistoric eastern China, metallurgy at the Han empire’s southern periphery, and plant remains and parasite microfossils in pre-contact New Zealand. A fifth article relies on settlement pattern and demographic data from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to draw insightful comparisons between the developmental trajectories of two distant regions.

We take this opportunity to welcome Cristina Castillo as the journal’s new Book Review Editor and thank Michèle Demandt for serving as the first editor dedicated to this important section of the journal. Michèle streamlined many of the editorial procedures for the book reviews. We wish her the best in all her future professional and personal endeavors.

bio 45-3 cover

biography

Volume 45, Number 3 (2022)

Editor Craig Howes honors founder George Simson in the introduction of this latest issue:

I am mentioning this constant in the life of Biography and the Center because when considering the contents of this “regular” issue, I realized that what began as an aspiration has with great effort become the norm. The five articles in this installment
feature writers and subjects from South Africa, Uganda, Lebanon, India, and France, representing an equally diverse range of approaches to life writing — whether through fashion, documentaries, oral histories, photographs, memoirs,
biographies, or “anti-biographies.”

I believe that George would find some of the theoretical approaches or topics puzzling—certainly far afield from biography as he understood and loved it. But I know he would be very happy that his dream of a journal that made its best effort to be international has been realized. And it will continue to do so.

Asian Theatre Journal

Volume 39, Number 2 (2022)

The new issue includes an Editor’s Note from Editor Siyuan Liu remembering scholar Dr. Po-Hsien Chun who taught and held seminars in theater and performance studies. Chun had recently published a review in Asian Theatre Journal Volume 37 Number 2 (Fall 2020) of Tokyo Listening: Sound and Sense in a Contemporary City by Lorraine Plourde. Liu states:

The third winner of last year’s AAP emerging scholar competition, Po-Hsien Chu, was also scheduled to publish his essay in the current issue, although he decided to postpone the revision to focus on his teaching as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Sadly, we will not have a chance to read his work as he passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. I would like to direct our readers to AAP’s remembrance of Po-Hsien, which describes him as “a brilliant scholar of Sinophone theater and performance, a nurturer of the field of Sinophone Studies, a generous and witty collaborator, a punctilious teacher, and above all, a cherished colleague who made scholarly fellowship into an art.”
