University of Hawaiʻi Press is the publisher of a forthcoming book series in an emerging field that has been recently awarded a $120,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. The grant will support initiatives related to the book series Global Asias: Method | Architecture | Praxis (Global Asias MAP), coedited by Tina Chen and Charlotte Eubanks of Penn State.
Global Asias is a conceptual approach to the study of Asia and its multiple diasporas. Drawing on work from three distinct interdisciplines—Asian studies, Asian American studies and Asian Diaspora studies—the series will stage intellectual exchanges between and across disciplines and fields to reimagine scholarly knowledge production about the fundamentally transnational and global nature of Asia-focused worlds and epistemologies.
