The first issue of the Micronesian Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences for 2005 has just been published.
The new edition covers topics such as the role of the Pampangos in the Mariana Mission, an evaluation of the nature of Guam’s history textbooks, a discussion on the role of youth theatre in the revitalization of Marshallese culture, a discussion of traditional and 19th century communication patterns in the Marshall Islands, and much more.
The journal also features the section “Micronesian Roundup,” where Humanities Institutions in Micronesia are given the opportunity to summarize their activities during the preceding year.
With this issue, the journal has moved to a biannual publication sequence, with the next—the Rainy Season issue—to appear in December. Submissions of full papers are invited and welcome.
“There is much good research being carried out in Micronesia,” said Professor Dirk HR Spennemann from the Charles Sturt University in Australia. “We’ve created ‘Micronesian Round-up’ to make that more accessible.”
The Micronesian Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences is a flagship journal dedicated to the study of human thought, behavior, and culture in Micronesia. Staff of the Northern Marianas College are part of a team of academics editing and advising on the content of the journal. The editors of the journal are NMC’s Sam McPhetres and Spennemann.
