Dear Colleagues, I would like to introduce the newest member of the listserv, 林珊 [zoelin2003@gmail.com], who describes her work in the following terms: I'm now a graduate student in Peking University, P.R.China and I will go on to pursue my PhD. in the department of UC Davis under the guidance of Professor Beverly Bossler. In PKU, my studies are mainly focused on the political history of late Northern Song and institutional history, while I'm also interested in the cultural and social history of the Song dynasty. Yours truly, Michael
