Oxford Handbooks, Oxford Bibliographies, Oxford Research Encyclopedias, Anthropology, Archaeology, Education, Geography, Law, Neuroscience, Social Work
I am a Senior Acquisitions Editor in OUP’s Scholarly Reference department, where I work on print and online reference works in the social sciences and sciences. I oversee online modules for the Oxford Handbooks, Oxford Research Encyclopedias, and Oxford Bibliographies programs in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, education, geography, law, neuroscience, and social work. I also acquire new print handbooks in law and archaeology: recent or forthcoming publications include The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea, The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Health Law, and The Oxford Handbook of U.S. Education Law. I have degrees in linguistics and French literature, both from the University of Chicago. Much of my career has involved reference publishing of one sort or another, and I have been a part of OUP’s Scholarly Reference department since 2012.
I acquire primarily in the areas of education, developmental psychology, narrative psychology. I've also been fortunate to assume editorial responsibility for some key series in these respective areas such as Child Development in Cultural Context, Explorations in Narrative Psychology and the Emerging Adulthood series. In my time at OUP, I've worked on economics, world history, and clinical psychology titles which has provided me with a variety of experience working with different audiences and format types. I welcome the opportunity to work on projects for a range of readers, whether that be scholarly research monographs, books for professionals, or books with general interest readers in mind. I'm particularly interested in titles that adopt an interdisciplinary perspective and I am keen to work with those looking to decolonize our global research community.
