Colorado Journal of Asian Studies
As always, the summer 2019 issue of the Colorado Journal of Asian Studies features excellent work on a wide variety of topics, with papers written by students for the Urban China class held in China in Summer 2018 (Renee Gagne, Sean Jones, and Sousheel Vunnam), a student in a Media and Popular Culture class (Brenna Faricy), and a student from Colorado College (Ziyu Zhao). These papers cover a wide range of topics and cultures: K-Pop (Faricy), public art in China (Gagne), Chinese consumerism (Jones), Chinese music in communities (Vunnam), and Tibetan cultural preservation and state-sponsored tourism (Zhao).
CJAS is published annually. We publish original, quality undergraduate research on nearly any aspect of Asia or Asian culture and welcome submissions of original scholarly work from any undergraduate student at CU Boulder or another Colorado university.
