Aims & Scope

HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies, publishes peer reviewed original research articles, short field reports, perspectives pieces, 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. Truly interdisciplinary and trans-regional 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 understudied and diverse world region. We are committed to collaborating with other regional associations devoted to Himalayan issues, and supportive of work that encourages intellectual and cultural exchange. HIMALAYA serves the needs of a diverse constituency of scholars, students, professionals, and institutions in the United Kingdom, the United States and around the world.
