Hi everyone! It’s nice to catch up with you all again.

Big news around here: I quit my tenured academic job at the University of South Florida earlier this year and have started an academic developmental editing and translation company called Les plumes rouges with my friend Sandrine Sanos.

Friends: my department, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke, has three tenured/tenure-track positions open in Japanese Studies (academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25879), Korean Studies (academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25886) and South Asian Studies (academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25880)!
