We are pleased to announce that Dr. Sumayya Ahmed of Simmons University will be joining Dr. James Lowry of City University of New York as co-editor of the Routledge Studies in Archives book series.
Routledge Studies in Archives was established in 2020 as a home for new theoretical interventions in archival studies, with a focus on sole authored books. To date, the series has published landmark new texts by Jamie A. Lee, Verne Harris, Peter Lester, Victoria Hoyle, Michelle Caswell and Jeannette Bastian, as well as edited collections on social justice, and Caribbean archival practices, with a forthcoming volume on archival materiality.
Dr. Lowry said "I'm excited to be working with Sumayya as we build on the early successes of the series. It's important to keep renewing its vision and scope as the field develops."
Dr. Ahmed, whose training and scholarship has primarily focused on archives and private collections in North Africa and the Arabian (Persian) Gulf, said of her appointment as series editor, "it is truly an honor to be able to steward new voices, experiences and perspectives for this vital series".
Authors interested in publishing in the series can contact Dr. Ahmed at sumayya.ahmed@simmons.edu and/or Dr. Lowry at james.lowry@qc.cuny.edu
