A question for travel writing scholars! In English, the generic label 'travel writing' replaces the older 'voyages and travels' in the early 20th C. Are there similar shifts in nomenclature in French, German etc?
A great opportunity to study for a (fully-funded!) PhD on 21st-century forms and modes of Travel Writing; based in Odense, Denmark. More info here: tinyurl.com/yck3f3ea - please circulate!!
Can anyone advise on up-to-date scholarship on the rise of nationalism (or alternatively, evolution of nationalism from c 1800 onwards). Am especially interested in how Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities holds up in light of more recent research. TIA!
I'm delighted to announce the publication today of the 2nd edition of my Travel Writing volume in the Routledge New Critical Idiom series. More details here: tinyurl.com/sfpkbc5n
An interesting overview of some recent developments in English as a discipline (though one could debate the political labels best applied to those developments...)

Am trying to identify a recent-ish academic book I noticed a while ago but forgot to note the details of. It's like Bloomsbury's Concepts: A Travelogue; ie it offers theoretical overviews of a number of non-Western ideas/terms. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA!!

I'm doing a series of videos for Science Friday! I'm very new to audio, so please excuse the amateur nature of my reading. Each video will explore some aspect of clothing as it relates to science or the environment. This one is about how cheap cashmere is impacting Mongolia.
