Per new OECD data, literacy is stagnating or in decline in many economically developed countries. 30% of US adults read at the level of 10-year-olds. The tech-driven shift from reading longer, more complex material to short posts & largely textless videos is likely a major cause

Tsinghua Professor and THiS cofounder Nianshen Song’s book, Mapping Asia: A History on Maps, is released this week. Highly recommended for anyone interested in global history, historical geography, historical sociology, and critical Asian studies.

New paper on the intellectual transformations that rendered colonialism into a generic name for European rule over Asia and Africa. It is also a study of the fundamental theoretical tension that marked the category's twentieth-century history.

Great review of my "Handbook of Confucianism in Modern Japan" by @alhask4, which fairly highlights some issues with (my) editorial framing of topics, summarizes/reflects well on different author contributions, and raises interesting questions about scholar-state collaborationism.
