JGH x TPF: An Introduction to Publishing Workshop
March 1st, 2024
Are you an early career scholar or graduate student in global history? Are you interested in publishing your research in a peer-reviewed journal, and aren’t sure how to get started? Do you have questions about how to best prepare yourself for the process of publishing an article?
The Journal of Global History (JGH) and the Toynbee Prize Foundation are pleased to announce the Introduction to Publishing Workshop, aimed specifically at addressing the question and needs of graduate and early career scholars in global history seeking to better understand the world of academic publishing. This workshop is also intended for scholars based in the Global South, and we especially encourage scholars affiliated with such institutions to register.
The workshop will consist of a presentation led by two members of the JGH editorial team, Prof. Elisabeth Leake (Lee E. Dirks Professor in Diplomatic History, Tufts University), Dr. Guido van Meersbergen (Associate Professor in Early Modern Global History, University of Warwick), and Dr. Margot Tudor (Lecturer in Foreign Policy/Security at City University of London), followed by a brief introduction to the work of the Toynbee Prize Foundation and then a Q&A section.
This workshop will take place virtually via Zoom on March 1st at 8-9:30 am EST/1pm GMT.
Please register for the workshop here. Registered attendees will receive a zoom link shortly prior to the workshop.

Dr. Elisabeth Leake is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Global History, and the Lee E. Dirks Professor in Diplomatic History and Associate Professor of History at the Fletcher School, Tufts University, which she joined in 2022. Dr. Leake's research to date has been broadly focused on the global histories of decolonization and the Cold War. Her most recent book, Afghan Crucible: The Soviet Invasion and the Making of Modern Afghanistan (OUP, 2022) offered a global history of the Afghan civil war of the 1980s.
Dr. Guido van Meersbergen is co-editor of the Journal of Global History and the Associate Professor in Early Modern Global History at University of Warwick, UK. His research focuses on early modern global trade, diplomacy, travel, and the activities of the Dutch and English East India Companies in the Indian Ocean world, particularly in the Mughal Empire. His first monograph, Ethnography and Encounter: The Dutch and English in Seventeenth-Century South Asia (Brill, 2022), maps the role of ethnographic ideas and assumptions in the management and operations of the Dutch and English East India Companies.
Dr. Margot Tudor is a Lecturer in Foreign Policy/Security at the City University of London, UK. Her work explores the colonial continuities of historical international interventions, specialising in UN peacekeeping missions. Her first book, Blue Helmet Bureaucrats: United Nations Peacekeeping and the Reinvention of Colonialism, 1945-1971 was published by Cambridge University Press in 2023. Dr. Tudor published an article with the Journal of Global History in 2021, titled "Reputation on the (green) line: revisiting the ‘Plaza moment’ in United Nations peacekeeping practice, 1964–1966."
Poorvi Bellur is the Executive Director of the Toynbee Prize Foundation. She is currently a doctoral candidate at Princeton University studying global anticolonial solidarities and conceptions of imperialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a focus on British Empire in South Asia and Egypt.
