The editors of Asia Pacific Perspectives are pleased to announce the publication of the Fall 2016 issue, focusing on “Bodies, Healing and Culture,” the topic of the fall 2015 Symposium of the same name held at the University of San Francisco's Center for Asia Pacific Studies. The journal includes articles by conference presenters and several other scholars of the Asia-Pacific region bringing additional breadth to the topic area. The articles represent original research on both historical and contemporary medical topics – from the experiences of female patients in 16th-century Japan to changing ideas about birth control and diet at the turn of the 20th century to contemporary patient narratives of HIV/AIDS and breast cancer. This new scholarship also spans the region, bringing together works on China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. We are excited to share this important new work with you – visit APP’s website to read and download the articles today:
