We are now accepting submissions for Issue IV (Spring 2026)!

The Student Journal of Asian Studies at USC (SJAS @ USC) is a student-run academic journal supported by the USC East Asian Studies Center to help publish undergraduate and graduate work in various disciplines surrounding Asian Studies from around the world. Our goal is to establish an interdisciplinary atmosphere for student researchers on the rise to share their works and contribute to scholarship in Asian Studies.

We welcome submissions drawn from course papers, senior theses, fellowship projects, or independent research by both undergraduate and graduate students. Research topics may include — but are not limited to — Southeast Asian Cultural Studies, Chinese and Sinophone Studies, Korean Studies, Japanese Studies, Transpacific Studies, Asian American Studies, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, South Asian Studies, and Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies.

Areas of focus are open and interdisciplinary, encompassing literature, film, visual arts, historical archives, and beyond.
