As we approach our tenth anniversary we thought it was a good moment to update our "Aims and Scope" to better reflect how conversations in the field have developed over the last decade. The new version is now live, read it here: www.tandfonline.com/journals/rgi...

Alt Text: A Chinese literati, a Japanese gentleman, and a European scholar sit together at a table. The two men at either end have a form of a book in front of them: one a handscroll, the other a bound text. The Japanese man has no book and instead holds a fan while a white snake encircles his wrist.

Village trees used to be the centres of village life in China - and also played a political role in the 1900s. The govt wanted to 'prepare for constitutionalism' by building new-style schools, which required cutting down trees and led to many conflicts. See Xu Yao 徐躍, 新式学校の設立と郷村の慣習・民俗をめぐる文化摩擦, 2010

'Pocock was criticised for being too American and for not being American enough – all the more intriguing for a New Zealander' - read @rosariolopez.bsky.social on J.G.A. Pocock (1924-2023), partly based on her keynote earlier this year at our symposium on his work and legacy @eui-history.bsky.social

Hello all! What were the best books of 2024 that you read on global intellectual history? What did you enjoy reading, what would you suggest reading? It would be great to hear your thoughts, do share! Unrelatedly, enjoy this painting of a cat chasing a butterfly at the Musée Lambinet in Versailles.

This piece by @shoufuyin.bsky.social is the most revolutionizing article in intellectual history I’ve read in years. It seriously changes how one thinks about liberty and the dissemination of political ideas. Finally out at APSR!
