Historical Note

The first issue of ASIANetwork EXCHANGE was published in December 1992 and edited by Marianna McJimsey, The Colorado College. The first two issues were published as The Asian Exchange. With the third issue (September 1993), the publication assumed the title The ASIANetwork EXCHANGE, A Newsletter for Teaching About Asia. Marianna McJimsey continued in her post as editor through the August 1999 issue, while also serving as executive director of ASIANetwork.

Anne Prescott and Ben Nefzger of Augustana College assumed editorial responsibilities with the Fall 1999 issue, which was a special retrospective edition on the first seven years of ASIANetwork. Marsha Smith of Augustana College became the third editor with the Fall 2000 issue. With the retirement of Ben Nefzger and the relocation of Anne Prescott, Marsha Smith became chief editor with the fall 2002 issue, a post she held through the special Spring 2005 retrospective edition on ASIANetwork from 1999 to 2005. Thomas Lutze and Irving Epstein of Illinois Wesleyan University became co-editors beginning with the Fall 2005 issue.

On the recommendations of Thomas Lutze and Irving Epstein and further conversations among the editors and the ASIANetwork board members, the Board approved at the 2008 conference the moving of ASIANetwork EXCHANGE to a journal form, with focus on the publication of thoughtful, original, and useful articles on teaching and scholarly activity surrounding the study of Asia in the liberal arts.

Erin McCarthy of St. Lawrence University and Lisa Trivedi of Hamilton College are the current editors beginning with the fall 2011 issue.
