Below is an excerpt from a message from Jon Wilson of the Association for Asian Studies. EAA is a terrific publication that offers essential articles and teaching suggestions on topics across Asia and across the centuries. I've never received an issue that didn't give me or cause me to come up with three ideas to use with my own students. Take advantage of the magazine's open access to to search among the hundreds of articles, reviews, and lesson plans EAA's published over the years. And please consider subscribing. There are many features in the print magazine that aren't readily reproduced on the web (and there are web only add-ons, such as extensive bibliographies). The basic subscription is $30/year.

A quick example of what you can find in EAA are two essays about how Mao Zedong was treated in US high school history textbooks:

Plus a review of the film Mao: The Real Man

And an essay on the many collections of Mao-related posters available on the web:

These are great additions to our recent one day workshop which included discussion of biographies of Mao. [/font]
(BTW - we'll likely repeat the teaching East Asian history through biographies workshop next year. Get on our mailing list to make sure you hear about it. Write to [email protected].

Many newsletter subscribers are or have been Education About Asia subscribers. It’s the wonderful journal published three times a year by the Association for Asian Studies. You can subscribe for $30/year or you might get your library or department to subscribe for $37/year. Each issue is packed with articles aimed at enhancing your ability to teach about a wide variety of issues. The latest issue, for example, focuses on the US and Asia over the past century. For each issue, a few articles and online only features are available for free at the magazine’s website (e.g., Eriberto Lozada’s essay on understanding Asia through food, Craig Laing’s illustrated piece on China’s cultural landscapes and Ron Knapp’s article on East Asia and the national geography standards). Rare is the issue that doesn’t have two or three ideas you’ll be utilizing with students within a few weeks. It’s well worth the subscription price.

You’ve got to subscribe to get full access to current EAA content. But everyone can take advantage of the EAA archives. More than 1,000 articles from 1996-2009 are available in the archives. Registration is required, but it is free and easy. Click here, register, and then search for a topic you’re interested in (e.g., searching for Buddhism produces results including an article about teaching Buddhism through life stories; searching for North Korea produces results including an article on teaching about NK using visual and online resources). Please take a moment to comment in the forum about what you've found.
