We start off with Tracey A. Sowerby who many of you already know from her many publications and conferences that she organised. On the international scene, she really put #emdiplomacy and its cultural aspects back on the map.
She especially focusses on #diplomatic cultures, on #gender and #earlymodern#diplomacy and cross-confessional #diplomacy.
In 2021, she edited a volume on diplomatic cultures at the Ottoman Court.
Moreover, together with Ruggero Sciuto Sowerby is organising the TORCH Network on Diplomacy in the Early Modern Period with regular talks and other activities:
Today, we want to introduce you to another pioneer of #NewDiplomaticHistory who did a lot to promote the subject on an international scene: Roberta Anderson who is also a member of our editorial board. (4/n)
She is co-founder of the premodern #diplomats network and Splendid Encounters conference series that provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss #emdiplomacy in a relaxed atmosphere; especially for early career researchers.
For concluding #WomensHistoryMonth we want to introduce to you another wonderful female #emdiplomacy scholar: Lisa Hellman who recently was inaugurated as professor of global history at Lund University:
She focusses on #emdiplomacy in East and Central Asia, especially on prisoners of war and slaves in Russia and Central Asia as diplomatic actors, as she explores in this recent article. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110777246-009
Together with Birgit Tremml-Werner she also edited a special issue in the Journal of the History of Ideas on “Translation in Action” combining intellectual history and #emdiplomay from a global point of view. https://doi.org/10.1353/jhi.2021.0022
This are only a few of her many publications. So if you’re interested in global #emdiplomacy you should not miss out on her work.
Last but not least, Lisa Hellman is head of the Nordic global #history network Nordglob which brings together scholars from the Nordic countries who are working on or at least interested in #GlobalHistory
