The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823 ‘for the investigation of subjects connected with, and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to, Asia’. Informed by these goals, the policy of the Society’s Editorial Board is to make available in appropriate formats the results of original research in the humanities and social sciences having to do with Asia, defined in the broadest geographical and cultural sense and up to the present day.
Editorial Board:
Professor Francis Robinson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK (Chair)
Professor Tim Barrett, SOAS, University of London, UK; Dr Barbara Brend, Royal Asiatic Society, UK; Dr Evrim Binbas, Institute of Oriental and Asian Studies, University of Bonn, Germany; Professor Anna Contadini, SOAS, University of London, UK; Professor Michael Feener, National University of Singapore; Dr Gordon Johnson, University of Cambridge, UK; Dr Firuza Melville, University of Cambridge, UK; Dr Taylor Sherman, London School of Economics, UK; Dr Alison Ohta, Director, Royal Asiatic Society
