All packed and ready to board my flight to Japan for the upcoming Japanese Studies conference at Tohoku University organized by @eajs.eu Sleep was in short supply last night, but with 13 hours on a plane ahead of me, I’m grateful for the chance to rest, read, and think uninterrupted.

Join us tomorrow at Leiden University Library (15:30–17:00) for Prof. Christopher Joby’s talk: “Christian Mission in 17th-Century Taiwan: A Reception History of Texts, Beliefs, and Practices.” Address: Witte Singel 27, Leiden (Vossiuszaal, 2nd floor) brill.com/display/titl...

As #BACS2025 concludes, we are pleased to see that nearly all of our titles have been reserved! The conference has been an excellent occasion to engage with stimulating keynotes, reconnect with colleagues, and meet emerging scholars. Sincere thanks to Dr Lin Feng for the generous hospitality!

It was a pleasure to attend the symposium on the memory and legacy of World War II in popular culture across East and Southeast Asia at the University of Leicester on behalf of @degruyterbrill.bsky.social today. Excited for the BACS conference tomorrow!

Looking forward @dreamlynnlynn.bsky.social!! 😊 I’ve got a pen in hand, highlighting all the panels I want to attend.

Very much enjoyed reading this insightful introduction to modern Chinese history by Prof. Rana Mitter. As a publisher, I’ll admit I envy the idea behind @oxunipress.bsky.social’s Very Short Introductions series. It’s deceptively simple but so well executed! Fully recommend this title.

📢 We are delighted to attend #BACS2025 at the University of Leicester, 3–5 Sept, showcasing our latest Chinese Studies publications. Stop by our booth or contact our Acquisitions Editor Iulia Ivana to arrange a meeting: [email protected]. bacs2025.le.ac.uk @degruyterbrill.bsky.social

As a Romanian living abroad, I’m often asked about the connection between Romanians and the Roma people—a complex history I’ve struggled to explain. @madelinepotter.bsky.social's book offers a clear, thoughtful look at Romani culture and history. It’s eye-opening and deeply humanizing. Recommend!
