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...

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.

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!
