If interdisciplinary connotes anything, it should be improved communication across disciplines that fosters mutual understanding. This, in turn, advances our understanding of the deeply complex ethical and moral issues facing our world today. Acknowledging the need for diversity and integrity in speaking to these issues, Soundings promotes dialogue, reflection, inquiry, discussion, and action. These activities are informed by scholarship and by the acknowledgement of the civil and social responsibilities of academe to engage the world beyond the ivory tower.

South Asia is a refereed journal published under the authority of the South Asian Studies Association of Australia. It is published three times a year, in April, August and December. Its mission is to provide a forum for scholarly research, comment and discussion on the history, society, economy, culture and international relations of the South Asian region from the earliest times to the present day. Ordinarily there are two general issues each year, and one dedicated to a topical theme. Published since 1971, South Asia is the world's senior journal of record for the South Asian region.The South Asian Association of Australia represents scholars whose interests are in the South Asian region. It is not strictly focussed, either geographically or by discipline. Generally, it covers countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Himalayan states but the diasporic nature of south Asian cultures and the supra-national influences on the region mean that the interests of scholars may extend well beyond the borders of these states. South Asia is generously supported by the Monash Asia Institute, Monash University, Australia, and the University of New South Wales, Australia. For more information on how to join the Association, please contact Vivien Seyler. Email: Vivien.Seyler@adm.monash.edu.au. Members of the South Asian Association of Australia will receive South Asia as part of their membership.Peer Review StatementAll research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two referees.Manuscripts for submission, should be addressed to the Joint Editor: Kama Maclean, southasiaeditor@unsw.edu.auBooks for Review should be sent to:Irfan Ahmad, School of Political and Social Enquiry, Monash University, P.O.

The South Asian Diaspora, shaped by dispersions of people, goods, ideas and beliefs that flowed from and through the Indian Subcontinent which is currently one of the world's largest diasporas. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives all anchor a sense of home for people who have moved outside the region through the centuries. These territories evoke emotional, social, political, economic, cultural and literary affiliations as well which find expression in multiple ways. The diaspora is also marked by struggles over meanings and tensions both amongst the diasporics and with people in the countries where the diasporics now inhabit. In South Asian Diaspora we aim to explore some of the issues that the South Asian diaspora presents for the contemporary world.

South Asian History and Culture offers a forum that will provide an integrated perspective on the field at large. The journal aims to bring together research on South Asia in the humanities and social sciences, and to provide scholars with a platform covering, but not restricted to, their particular fields of interest and specialization. Such an approach is critical to any expanding field of study, for the development of more informed and broader perspectives, and of more overarching theoretical conceptions. The idea is to try to achieve a truly multidisciplinary journal on South Asian history and culture, under which the established (e.g. economic history, politics, gender studies) and more recent disciplines (e.g. minority rights, sexuality studies) will interact and enmesh with each other. A focus will also be to make more mainstream the more recently developed disciplines in the field of South Asian studies, which have to date remained specialized fields, for instance research on film, media, photography, sport, medicine and the environment. A significant concern for this journal is to focus across the region known as South Asia, and not simply on India, as most 8216;South Asia' forums inevitably do. We are most conscious of this gap in South Asian studies and will work to bring into focus more scholarship on and from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other parts of South Asia.

South Asian Journal of Business Studies is an international, multidisciplinary journal with a focus on South Asia and its role in the global context.

South Asian Popular Culture is an interdisciplinary journal designed to respond to the growing interest in South Asian popular culture within the different subject disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. South Asian popular culture is defined in a broad and inclusive way to incorporate lived and textual cultures, the mass media, ways of life, and discursive modes of representation. Central to the formation of popular cultures are articulations of the economic, social and political spheres and the journal welcomes contributions that will highlight these issues.South Asian Popular Culture is of interest to cultural, media, and film studies, as well as social geography, history, diaspora studies, postmodern and postcolonial theoretical formulations, and contributions are invited from these fields. The journal critically examines from theoretical and empirical perspectives the production, distribution, and consumption of South Asian popular cultural forms within the subcontinent and across international borders. Attention to the use of popular cultures in the South Asian diasporas as well as the development of traditional cultural practices in forging hybrid forms is also an important focus. As such the journal is a forum for authors from around the world.The journal of South Asian Popular Culture seeks to serve as an innovative and informative venue to discuss and debate the emergence and vibrancy of new forms of social, economic, cultural and political strategies and representations including those in film, music, radio, television, the press, fiction, sports, visual and cyber cultures, fashion, dance and sexuality. These forms, in fact, pose a challenge to be understood within a context of culture that enshrines a transnational focus and open attitude towards difference and diversity. The journal also encourages the exploration of how South Asian cultural practice has developed within wider parameters of transnational policies of art and culture.South Asian Popular Culture also features a regular section entitled Working Notes that includes contributions from cultural practitioners within South Asian popular culture (film, radio, and television makers, musicians, artists, personnel, cultural activists, fashion designers, and sexuality campaigners). It offers original insights into their work and current debates by way of interviews, diary notes, short essays, visual images and discussions.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone editorial screening and anonymous peer review.

South Asian Studies is the internationally refereed journal of the British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS). SAS has appeared annually since 1985, and incorporated the earlier Afghan Studies, and has established itself as the UK's leading journal devoted to the visual and material cultures of South Asia, and the only major journal outside the subcontinent devoted entirely to this field. Its disciplinary focus embraces all aspects of visual and material culture, including art, crafts, archaeology and architecture, while it welcomes contributions on textual, historical, religious, sociological, ethnographic and other themes wherever these throw light on the journal's core areas of interest. The geographical focus of the journal is that of BASAS: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and the South Asian diaspora. SAS regularly includes South Asia-related material dealing with neighbouring regions. The journal's chronological frame is from pre-history to the present.South Asian Studies aims to publish new research contributing theoretical and analytical insight. At the same time it provides a much needed forum for articles in which the principal contribution is in bringing to light interesting material previously unpublished. With its visual emphasis, South Asian Studies takes a generous approach to illustrations, which are not seen as mere adjuncts to text. It especially welcomes submissions with original drawings and photographs, and aspires to a high quality of design and layout.DisclaimerThe British Association for South Asian Studies and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

Storytelling, Self, Society is an interdisciplinary journal that invites scholarship addressing any topic related to Storytelling--from its role as performing art to contemporary applications in a variety of professional fields. We welcome manuscripts from scholars in humanities and social science disciplines, including psychology, library science, literary studies, folklore, anthropology, sociology, communication, rhetoric, performance studies, theatre, history, feminist and queer studies, and ethnography, as well as from storytelling artists and practitioners, including those applying storytelling in the fields of education, health care, social work, business, law, peace-building and environmental education.Our purpose is to gather the building blocks of new disciplinary roles, structures, and methodologies for Storytelling in the 21st century. We seek articles that reflect the highest standards of the various disciplines on which we draw, and to which we intend to contribute. In addition to standard monographs, Storytelling, Self, Society seeks to extend the critical vocabulary of contemporary storytelling, and so solicits reviews of storytelling performances and individual texts, as well as essays that review several performances and texts. We also recognize that storytelling is a longstanding discipline in itself; thus we welcome personal ethnography and reflection, as well as stories that have evolved from the oral tradition and reflect upon the endurance and evolution of oral traditions in the present day.We recognize the profound and often contested influences of storytelling and cultural narratives on the health of the individual, the community, and the planet. We seek ways to evaluate, measure, and focus those influences to impact our scholarship, our disciplines, our society, and ourselves. In keeping with an interdisciplinary journal, monographs and review essays in Storytelling, Self, Society are written in prose that is appropriate for a wide range of scholars and educated readers rather than the specialized jargon of a specific discipline.Peer Review Policy: All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by multiple expert referees.
