Africa in World History
I am a series co-editor, with Todd Cleveland, of Ohio University Press’s Africa in World History Series.
The objective of the Africa in World History series is to publish accessible books written for an audience that may know relatively little about the continent. Books in the series feature familiar topics, such as soccer, cuisine, diamonds, or slavery, but in an African context and in a way that draws readers into substantive engagement with the complex histories of Africa and its peoples. Some books examine a single topic as it unfolds across the continent, while others focus on a particular setting or region to illustrate broader developments and dynamics. The volumes challenge common misunderstandings and misperceptions about Africa’s past and its connection to the present, while adhering to rigorous standards of scholarship to ensure responsible handling of the histories they explore. We encourage proposals from authors of all career stages and geographic locations, and are particularly excited to work with first time authors and authors from the African continent. Please be in touch to discuss an idea! tcclevel@uark.edu and graboyes@uoregon.edu
Perspectives on Global Health
I recently took over as series editor of Ohio University Press’s Perspectives on Global Health Series, from founding editor, Jim Webb.
The objective of the Perspectives on Global Health series is to publish innovative studies that draw upon perspectives from the natural sciences and social sciences to shed light on important issues in global public health. The books are intended for both a students and practitioner audience, and are appropriate for adoption in undergraduate and graduate courses. I am particularly excited to work with first time authors and authors from the African continent. Please be in touch to discuss an idea! graboyes@uoregon.edu
