One of many things I took away from the World Economic History Congress last week is how much ECRs appreciate having opportunities to review books (and, in turn, having their books reviewed). Just a reminder that @journalmaritime.bsky.social welcomes ECRs as reviewers – see the details below! 👇 🗃️
I am also the book reviews editor for the International Journal of Maritime History (@journalmaritime.bsky.social). Are you a PhD student/early career scholar who would like to review for the journal? Follow the instructions below!
