Welcome!

I am an Acquisitions Editor in History and Asian Studies at Amsterdam University Press. The series I manage include:

• Asian History, which focuses on cultural and historical studies of politics and intellectual ideas and crosscuts the disciplines of history, political science, sociology and cultural studies from 1600 to 2000.

• China: From Revolution to Reform: The primary focus of this series is the People’s Republic of China in the new era, with somewhat dual attention to previous periods such as the Republic of China (1912-1949) and the late Qing (1644-1911).

• Crossing Boundaries, which publishes works placed at the intersection of disciplinary boundaries to introduce fresh connections between established fields of study.

• Global Chinese Histories, 250–1650, which seeks to publish new research that locates Chinese histories within their wider regional contexts, including cross-border and/or comparative perspectives.

• Hagiography beyond Tradition, which expands the ways in which we imagine how people come to be offered for veneration, as well as the media and genres in which they are fashioned, represented, and celebrated.

• Knowledge Communities, which focuses on innovative, edgy scholarship in the areas of intellectual history and the history of ideas.

• Premodern Health, Disease, and Disability. This groundbreaking series covers all topics concerned with health, disease, and disability—including injury, impairment, medical care, physicians, and hospitals—before about 1800.

• Social History of Punishment and Labour Coercion, which concerns all forms of punishment meted out by any type of State apparatus; by individuals, such as slave holders, fathers, and husbands; and by social institutions, such as kin and elderly councils.

If you're working on a book proposal, or have any questions about the publication processes for any of the above series, please get in touch with me.

Please note that I am currently not taking on any editorial work (copyediting, proofreading) at this time.
