(NJ Editor 14 October 2011)

Anne-Marie Medcalf and Carolyn Brewer announce the Inaugural issue of
Intersections: Gender, History and Culture in the Asian Context. 

Intersections is a refereed electronic journal conceived as an
interactive forum for new research and teaching in the area of Gender
Studies in the Asia-Pacific region. It stems from the School of Asian
Studies of Murdoch University in Western Australia.

Placed at the junction of historical and contemporary concerns,
this new e-journal will emphasise the paramount importance of research
into the region's multiple historical and cultural gender patterns. In
this sense the journal is multidisciplinary and crosses cultural and
gender boundaries.

At the same time, Intersections is intended as a means to explore
innovative ways of 'doing' history using new technologies. As such,
Information Technology is not seen as an end in itself, but as a place
where oral, written and visual history can tangibly cross paths allowing
for new connections to be made. Hence, visual materials such as photos,
maps, artistic reproductions as well as video clips or sound tracks are
included where indispensable to the argument being developed. 

Intersections: gender, History and Culture in the Asian Context 
is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the internet.
