CALL FOR ARTICLES
DSCA Newsletter
Deadline: Sunday, June 26

As a part of the activities of the Danish Society for Central Asia 
(DSCA), we
published the first issue of the DSCA Newsletter in April 2005. We wish to
develop the concept of the newsletter to include a short collection of 
articles
of general interest to our readers. Currently, more than 1.000 people 
subscribe
to the newsletter, and the list is growing by the day. The aim of the 
newsletter
is to disseminate relevant, popular and new information and knowledge on 
Central
Asia to both scholars and laymen with an interest in the region.

We welcome articles on topics such as Central Asian history, language, 
culture,
religion, art, music, architecture, economy, geography, nature, 
archaeology and
environment, as well as contemporary social, political, security, and ethnic
issues for the forthcoming issue of the DSCA Newsletter. The area 
covered by the
Society primarily includes Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; the province Xinjiang of China; and the 
northern
provinces of Pakistan. Areas adjacent to Central Asia can also be treated,
particularly if the topic of the article is important to the region as a 
whole.
Due to the nature of the Newsletter, we do not limit the scope to a specific
period in history. Thus, articles on prehistoric, ancient, medieval, 
modern and
contemporary Central Asia are welcome. Polemical articles with arguments 
founded
on a particular political or religious point of view will not be 
accepted unless
they are based on scientific or theoretical groundwork.

Although we prefer new, unpublished work, the Editorial Board will also 
consider
older material. Articles should generally be of common interest to academic
researchers and Central Asia enthusiasts alike, and should therefore be 
written
in uncomplicated English. The Editorial Board will also accept articles in
Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian, preferably accompanied by a resume or 
abstract in
English. Articles should generally be no more than 5.000 words.

Due to the non-profit, non-governmental nature of the Danish Society for 
Central
Asia, we will not be able to pay the contributors. There are, however, a 
number
of memberships and prizes in our article competition - please refer to 
our new
website http://www.centralasien.dk for more details from Wednesday, June 15.

The deadline for submissions is Sunday June 26. If you are interested in
contributing, please mail us a short description of the topic of your 
article as
soon as possible (info@centralasien.dk). All contributions must be 
submitted in
the form of a Microsoft Word document, and references should be given in
footnotes. Please also attach a description of your background, 
affiliation, and
contact details. The Editorial Board will decide which articles are to be
published, and all contributors will be notified by e-mail around June 28.
