Another new member of the listserv
Heping Liu 劉和平, associate professor of Asian art history and the current chair of the Art Department at Wellesley, has just joined the listeserv.
He is a specialist in the art of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his publications include “The Water-Mill and Northern Song Imperial Patronage of Art, Commerce, and Science” in Art Bulletin (2002), “Empress Liu’s Icon of Maitreya: Portraiture and Privacy at the Early Song Court” in Artibus Asiae (2003), and “Juecheng: An Indian Buddhist Monk Painter in Early 11th-Century Chinese Court” in Journal of Inner Asian Art and Archaeology (2007). He is presently completing a chapter for an MIT book on the culture of technology in imperial China (forthcoming 2009).
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts for review to the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies, which is currently accepting submissions for inclusion in volume 40. Manuscripts for consideration must be received before the end of the calendar year 2009. All submissions undergo a standardized process of anonymous refereed peer review.
The Journal of Song-Yuan Studies is the official publication of the Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies. The Journal of Song-Yuan Studies is devoted to presenting and promoting the most current scholarship in all disciplines related to China of the middle imperial period, focusing on the Song, Liao, Jin, Xia, and Yuan dynasties. Formerly published annually, following the appearance of volume 39 in spring 2010, the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies will thereafter be published semi-annually, with issues appearing in the spring and in the autumn.
Scholars are invited to submit original English-language research in the form of topical articles or comprehensive review essays as well as reports on research or on the state of the field. Bibliographies are also accepted for consideration and only these need not be in English. The Journal of Song-Yuan Studies also publishes extensive book reviews and whereas those that are received without solicitation are unlikely to be considered, scholars interested in submitting reviews of specific books are welcome to contact the Book Review Editor Hilde De Weerdt (hilde.deweerdt@pmb.ox.ac.ukmailto:hilde.deweerdt@pmb.ox.ac.uk).
All manuscripts for consideration should adhere as closely as possible to the guidelines provided by the Journal of Song-Yuan Studies Stylesheet (http://www.songyuan.orghttp://www.songyuan.org/) and all submissions other than book reviews should be sent electronically to the Editor (wyatt@middlebury.edumailto:wyatt@middlebury.edu). All contributors will receive 25 offprints of their published work.
