Publications

The Joiner Center has initiated a number of publication projects both in-house and in cooperation with established presses. The Joiner Center Newsletter, the center's primary outlet is published twice yearly and contains recent news on the center's activities as well as guest essays and editorial pieces. Occasionally, as with the recent issue, "Seeing Afghanistan and Beyond," Newsletter Issues may be devoted to special topics. The center also publishes occasional reports and conference proceedings as with "Agent Orange: Scientific, Medical, and Political Aspects; "Women and War: A Symposium" and "From a Troubled Past to an Uncertain Future: Vietnam Veterans, a Community at Risk, the Five Year Follow Up Study on the Staus of Vietnam Veterans in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."

Over the years the center has entered into projects with the University of Massachusetts Press, Curbstone Press, Manoa, Yale University's Vietnam Forum and other journals aimed at bringing from Vietnam, the U.S. and other countries on the subject of war and its consequences to larger audiences and making them available for classroom use. Currently in progress are The Women on an Express Train: Selected Stories of Nguyen Minh Chau, bilingual editions of Vietnamese poets Lam thi My Da and Y Nghi and a special issue of the Irish literary journal, Cyphers.
