The quarterly magazine Amida was established in 1995 by a group of Asian Studies students at the Australian National University, with the objective of connecting peoples and cultures in Australia with those overseas. It includes articles on travel, language, culture, religion, food, film, books, music, study, politics, economics and art contributed by Australian and international academics and students.
