Boundaries + Crossings
a multimedia journal inspired by the cultures and people of Asia

Boundaries and Crossings is a critical journal showcasing creative and
scholarly work examining the people and cultures of Asia, published by
imagining global asia (iga). Boundaries explores issues of religion,
media and communications, identity, image of other, immigration and
energy-policy using a multimedia format to effectively showcase creative
and scholarly work.

The inaugural issue is based on the theme of media and identity. We
invite submissions that explore the diverse ways that identity is
mediated by people of Asian origin, whether in the diaspora or within
Asia, from branding India Shining to the western world, to the face of
Islam in mainstream media.
