Call for Article Submissions for the Journal of Lao Studies:
We just published Volume 8 on our website and are excited to continue publishing more on Lao studies. https://www.laostudies.org/journal/journal-lao-studies-jls
The study of Laos and the Lao has grown significantly over the past decade. With the opening up of some historical and manuscript archives, the improvement of communication and transportation, and the launching of joint Lao-foreign research projects, Laos has attracted a number of new scholars in diverse fields of expertise. The Journal of Lao Studies(JLS) is an exciting new scholarly project which is expected to become the first and most prestigious venue for researchers who work on Laos.
We are now accepting submissions of articles, book review suggestions, review articles (extended reviews of major publications, trends in the field, or of political, social, or economic events). These submissions can cover studies on Laos, the Lao diaspora (Northeast Thailand, Europe, the Americas, Australia, and so on), or studies in regards to ethnic groups found in Laos (Hmong, Akha, Khmu, among others).
DEADLINE IS JULY 1, 2025. Send submissions to Dr. Mike Rattanasengchanh at mike.rattanasengchanh@msutexas.edu
We can ADJUST the deadline for scholars who participate in the International Conference on Lao Studies in Germany, September 11 to September 14, 2025.
Language: Lao and English are the main languages, other languages are welcomed. Please check with the editors first before submitting articles in other languages not listed here.
