HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (DigitalCommons@Macalester College)
HIMALAYA is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal published by the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS), formerly known as the Nepal Studies Association (1972-2000). HIMALAYA has two International Standard Serial Numbers: ISSN 1935-2212 (print) and ISSN 2471-3716 (online).
Over 40 years old, HIMALAYA is the continuation of the Himalayan Research Bulletin (1981-2003) and the Nepal Studies Association Newsletter (1972-1980).
Truly interdisciplinary and transregional in scope, HIMALAYA is committed to covering all aspects of Himalayan Studies, including the natural and social sciences, humanities, and creative arts.
HIMALAYA promotes scholarly understanding of, engagement with, and appreciation for this diverse region of the world. We are committed to collaborating with other regional associations devoted to Himalayan issues, and supportive of work that encourages scholarly and cultural exchange.
To that end, HIMALAYA publishes original research articles, short field reports, book and film reviews, reports on meetings and conferences, alongside literature and photo essays from the region. All original research articles are submitted to a rigorous peer review process.
HIMALAYA serves the needs of a diverse constituency of scholars, students, professionals, and institutions in the United States and around the world. The journal is included in the collections of fifty major libraries in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
Our Editorial Board is comprised of leading scholars from the United States, Europe, and the Himalayan region who represent a range of disciplines and perspectives – from historians, geographers, and anthropologists to ethnomusicologists, specialists in Himalayan languages and literatures, and conservation-development professionals.
We are committed to the open access publishing movement, and are pleased to make the HIMALAYA archive available through this Digital Commons platform hosted by Macalester College. As of Volume 33, HIMALAYA is now published free for all and online immediately. This move towards open access will transform not only the journal, but also ensure wider access to scholarship on the Himalayan region.
Under the current editorship, HIMALAYA has developed a stronger web presence and a more contemporary visual look, both online and in print. Beginning in 2014, we have been producing two issues a year, in print and online.
Current print issues of HIMALAYA are available for members of ANHS and Institutional subscribers. ANHS membership and subscription rates and additional information can be found here. Back issues of Himalaya are available for free online from this Digital Commons site.
Additional information about institutional or individual subscriptions should be sent to the editors, Jeevan Sharma and Michael Heneise, at the following email <himalaya@anhs-himalaya.org>

Macalester Abroad: Research and Writing from Off-campus Study (Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citizenship)
Macalester Civic Forum (Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citizenship)
Macalester International (Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citizenship)
The Macalester International Journal includes volumes that publish selected papers from the Macalester International Roundtable and from the Macalester College Faculty Development International Seminars. The Roundtable, an intellectual festival convened each October, is an occasion for serious conversations across the College on topics of transnational significance. The practice is to commission a set of essays - a keynote address, followed by two additional essays delivered by seasoned scholars - which become the center of debate and discussion. Each of the two essays receives public response from a Macalester student and a member of the faculty. The purposes of the Roundtable are to cogitate together upon crucial but difficult global questions and to cultivate further the equipoise that minds of the Macalester academic community have long been expected to hold between local anxieties and transnational pressures.
The Macalester International Journal also includes volumes which publish selected papers from the participants of the Macalester College Faculty Development International Seminars. These hands-on seminars are designed to help participants grapple, both intellectually and through hands-on personal experience abroad, with compelling issues in an unfolding epoch of globalization. The Seminars are also designed to capture important moments in Macalester College's fundamental mission of educational excellence in the context of the interrelated ideals of internationalism, multiculturalism, and civic engagement.
Macalester Islam Journal (Religious Studies Department)
This journal is a celebration of the quality of the work done by Macalester students. These undergraduate students have discussed and reflected on complex issues and have contributed their own unique perspectives to them. With their College’s emphasis on internationalism as a point of departure in studying all academic fields, Macalester students are in a position to offer a useful contribution to a large audience.
In addition, the Journal attempts to engage college students with interest in the study of Islam and the Muslim World. The readership of this Journal is not intended to be limited to undergraduate and graduate students of Islamic studies; it goes beyond these to include all those who are curious about the field. However, students like those of Macalester College are likely to react to the materials published in this Journal with an added interest. These students might choose to converse with the views and arguments presented in the Journal in their own papers and articles. Our hope is that the ease with which publication has become available to so many of us today will at least carry the advantage of acquainting college students with each others’ perspectives.
