SUMMARY:FROM FEAR TO RESILIENCE: STORYTELLING OF COVID-19 IN SOUTHEAST ASIA  Call for Photo\, Short Video and Art Essays by SEA Junction and Partners
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThese days we are inundated with photos of deaths\, ICUs and suffering\, creating fear as an incentive to keep us all at home. No matter how well-meaning\, this narrative of COVID-19 remains one-sided and may have many unwanted consequences. We know from the HIV epidemic that fear only changes behavior in the short term and it may cause traumas and prejudices that make it more difficult to learn to live with the virus. This narrative also leads to seeing the ‘other’ as the ‘enemy’ who can potentially infect us\, triggering unnecessary stigma and discrimination that hampers the efforts to control the pandemic. More needs to be done to raise understanding of the rationale of preventive measures and to provide the social and economic means to enable people to apply those. \nLiving through a pandemic with unforeseen reality and unending uncertainties for over a year has created an epidemic of fear. As a consequence\, there have been stigmatization and blaming to infected people\, especially vulnerable population. With the current surges in COVID-19 infection across Southeast Asia\, the fear of contracting the disease remains and is even escalated when the vaccine is in shortage and not accessible to many. They are nervous of not getting timely vaccinated\, not to mention the concern on vaccine’s safety and efficacy. The fear also extends beyond contraction and manifests in socio-economic stress as a result of the pandemic impacts. In particular\, the poor and disadvantaged groups have been hardest hit with a deepening of poverty since the existing inequalities have been exacerbated. \nSEA Junction invites all to make an effort to collectively provide a different visual story of the pandemic in Southeast Asia that shows strength and hope. We believe in the importance of reducing fear and promote informed policy and public discussion with more accurate reporting of the epidemiological realities of COVID-19. We need to show that COVID-19 is also a tale of survival\, resilience and solidarity. \nWe are calling for short stories in the form of photo essays\, short documentaries and illustrated art essays in any language of the region (to be later translated into English) or in English. We will then select\, curate and showcase them in a special section on our online platform and on our social media. We will be also looking for other partners interested in broadcasting these works of resilience. When the COVID-19 situation ease\, we will use the selected visual storytelling works to organize a 2-week long exhibition at BACC. \nPossible topics include but not limited to: \n\ncultural rituals and faith to counter our anxiety;\nexperiences of quarantine (at home or at reserved locations) and survival;\npeople that continue to work in essential services;\nlaborers and migrant workers that keep the economy running by continuing to work in construction\, agriculture\, fishing\, etc.;\nrural and urban community organizing to control the pandemic and provide support to the needy;\ninnovation and adaptation of technology in resource poor settings;\nstrategic intervention to enhance people survival beyond relief;\nand people that fight for social protection and for upholding of privacy and other human rights amidst this pandemic.\n\nNeedless to say\, ethical and safety principles need to be respected in the production of the stories\, and compliance of preventive measures is a must at any time. \nPlease submit approximately 15 photos and/or videos along with short essay to  southeastasiajunction@gmail.com. The call remains open without specific deadline. We welcome all the entries and also other interested partners to join this call. \nOrganizers \nSEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions- from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.

SUMMARY:Call for Submissions: “Teaching About Asia in a Time of Pandemic”
DESCRIPTION:The Asia Shorts book series\, published by the Association for Asian Studies and distributed worldwide by Columbia University Press\, offers concise\, engagingly-written titles by highly-qualified authors on areas of significance in Asian Studies. Topics are intended to be substantive\, generate discussion and debate within the field\, and attract interest beyond it. \nIn collaboration with the AAS teaching journal\, Education About Asia\, we are developing an edited Asia Shorts volume titled “Teaching About Asia in a Time of Pandemic.” This volume will consist of two sections. Section one will include teaching resource essays on how to teach Asia-related topics online. Contributions are welcome from seasoned online instructors as well as from those recently forced into an online environment because of Covid-19. Prospective authors may address their online instructional approaches that are applicable to middle\, high school\, or undergraduate courses. Section two will include essays on teaching about the pandemic utilizing historical\, economic\, political\, and social perspectives from and about Asia. \nSince this edited volume will be targeted toward undergraduate instructors as well as high school and middle school teachers\, all submissions should be written in prose that is easily accessible for non-specialist instructors and possibly students. The number of endnotes should be minimal compared to more traditional scholarly publications. The word count range for each article\, review\, lesson plan\, or teaching resources essay may vary from 500 words (less than one double-spaced manuscript page) to 3\,000 words (about 9-10 double spaced manuscript pages)\, although some flexibility in word count limits might be possible given extenuating circumstances. Because of the timeliness of this volume\, we are asking for a very quick production process. Our goal is to have the completed volume available in both print and digital formats by early in the fall 2020 semester. \nProspective authors are strongly encouraged to email me a 1-3 paragraph description of possible contributions\, preferably before June 15\, 2020. You will receive prompt replies to queries. Once your proposal has been approved\, completed submissions for this special volume will be due on or before July 15\, 2020. All submissions will be blind reviewed before publication. \nProspective authors are welcome to contact me at david.kenley@dsu.edu. \nSource: https://www.asianstudies.org/call-for-submissions-teaching-about-asia-in-a-time-of-pandemic/?fbclid=IwAR0BaAiAgpjclHO6nA9zGgwltV-5GtoIQErPFJ7agE9rnmpoeuzLDYwWEeA \n
