Organized under the auspices of The Journal of Asian Studies to help increase the range, breadth and quality of journal article manuscripts, the theme for this workshop is "Boundary Pushing."

The workshop is designed and conducted by the editors of JAS to help early career scholars prepare manuscripts for successful peer review.
