New journal aims to connect scholars and practitioners

[Guest guest]

TCM folks,

I have recently become aware of a new journal which should interest those of you

with an

interest in scholarly aspects of asian medicine. A brief blurb is below. Enjoy.

Dan Bensky

 

Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity is a multidisciplinary journal

aimed at researchers and practitioners of Asian medicine in Asia as well as

in Western countries. It makes available in one single publication academic

essays that explore the historical, anthropological, sociological and

philological dimensions of Asian medicine as well as practice reports from

clinicians based in Asia and in Western countries.

With the recent upsurge of interest in non-Western alternative approaches to

health care, Asian Medicine - Tradition and Modernity will be of relevance

to those studying the modifications and adaptations of traditional medical

systems on their journey to non-Asian settings. It will also be relevant to

those who wish to learn more about the traditional background and practice

of Asian medicine within its countries of origin. On account of its appeal

to scholars from a range of academic backgrounds (such as history,

anthropology, philology, sociology, archaeology) as well as to practitioners

based in Asia and in Western medical institutions and alternative health

care settings, the journal constitutes a unique resource for both scholarly

and clinically focused institutions.
