Profile
The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies journal (CJAS) is based at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies. It is a bi-annual, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal studying modern and contemporary Asia.
We aim to bridge the humanities and social sciences through comparative analysis while refining and disseminating methodologically and theoretically innovative research on Asia.
We inclusively define Asia as East-, Inner-, West-, Central-, South-, and Southeast Asia, along with global Asian cultural spheres and diasporas. At the same time, we problematise the idea of ‘Asia’ as a unified region by attending to transnational dynamics, hybridities, social change, Asian diasporas and global cultural flows.
We publish articles, reports from the field, research notes and book reviews. Emerging scholars is a new category at CJAS that highlights high-quality and peer-reviewed scholarship by graduate students.
