IDEAS, a new electronic
undergraduate journal on Asia created by Union students,
has issued a call for papers.
Members of the editorial board are
soliciting colleges and universities in the Americas,
Asia and Europe. The first issue
of the e-journal is scheduled for fall 2005.
The mission of IDEAS (International
Digest for the Expression of Asian Studies) is to encourage and support
undergraduate excellence in Asian Studies, according to Prof. Linda Patrik,
faculty advisor. It aims to build bridges between undergraduate researchers in
the Americas
and in Asia through their academic and artistic work.
Plans are to publish research
papers, artwork and multimedia pieces including new experiments in
technological media and digital art. “We want to explore the creative
possibilities offered by an electronic journal that cannot be offered by a
regular paper journal” Patrik said.

Gold is the web designer. Angel Hart is graphic artist.
