> portion of their Academic Solutions Database for World History: Ancient
> and Medieval Eras (from prehistory to 1500 CE), a database designed for
> colleges and universities. The Idea Exchange has two goals:
>
> 1) to provide informative, thesis-driven, and peer-reviewed essays from
> multiple perspectives on topics that are mainstays of community college
> and undergraduate paper assignments (the sort of topics normal for both
> papers and lectures in survey/upper-division courses, e.g. Caesar and his
> role in the fall of the Republic), and
>
> 2) to model effective essay writing.
>
> Experts in the field will write about these "enduring questions." Having
> several scholars weigh in on these topics will provide varying viewpoints
> and encourage critical thought. Each essay will be about 2,000-3,000
> words. The honorarium for each piece is $250.
>
> We need contributors for two East Asian questions:
>
> --What caused the ninth-century crisis in Chinese Buddhism?
>
> --Does the legend of the Japanese samurai match up with the historical
> reality?
>
> If interested in either one, please reply to this inquiry as soon as is
> convenient. We would be looking for a deadline of May 15th, 2011. Please
> provide a c.v., your academic affiliation, and the best way to contact you
> (much of our correspondence is conducted via email).
