The GUINEIS (Gauhati University Institute of North East India Studies) JOURNAL is inviting papers for its 5th issue due in April 2019. The journal is an annual interdisciplinary journal of North East India Studies published by Gauhati University. It seeks to promote study of the region from the perspectives of all disciplines. It welcomes essays and book reviews on all aspects of North East India as a whole as well as on the eight individual states that constitute the region. 

Essays should have a clear theoretical basis and not be merely descriptive of aspects of the region.

For centuries, the study of time was one of the main academic interests in the field of Humanities. However, in the second half of the 20^thcentury, most scholars and philosophers shifted their focus to the question of space. This, termed “spatial turn” by Soja in 1989, encouraged the foundation of new approaches and perspectives whose main goal was to elucidate the “spatiality” (Tally, 2013) of beings as a result of their interaction with their physical surroundings.

The Southern Studies Forum Conference

Friends, neighbours, countrymen!

We are interested in putting together a panel on Decentering the Cold War:  Race, Ethnicity, and Otherness for the California, Hawaii, and Northwest World History Associations Joint Meeting (U.C. Berkeley, February 22-24, 2019).  We are hoping to initiate discussion that moves away from the geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.
