Edited Book Project

The book project also benefited significantly from the final workshop of the Module. The workshop created an opportunity to revise and update the proposal, to review possible publication strategies, and to make decisions about the next steps. Since some of the initial project members were not able to take part in the writing phase, new academics were invited to contribute. As a result, a team of 13 scholars is now preparing a 15-chapter edited volume. The most recent version of the proposal is included in this deliverable, and the contributors agreed to submit it to Leiden University Press.
