🦟 Our “Fevered Cities” is an essential history of dengue epidemics that will scratch that itch for anyone interested in how disease, society, and the built environment interact.

Dengue fever is the world's most widespread mosquito-borne viral disease. Now found in more than one hundred countries, the book traces how the disease has emerged as a global health challenge.

From vector control campaigns to cutting-edge biotechnologies like genetically modified mosquitoes and vaccines, Randall M. Packard charts humanity's attempts to combat this tenacious disease, using cities like Manila, Bangkok, Singapore and Rio de Janeiro as case studies.

The young scholars presenting at the Asian Studies Association of Australia were inspiring, and the exhibitor displays were right next to the excellent teatime treats. A sign of good organisation! As usual I was too distracted to take pix during the different breaks, but here are a few! New joiner Chan Li Shan was glad have a chance to meet up with one of her PhD mentors, Barbara Andaya. (Also sneaking in my very Oz welcome at the conference hotel... )

: Forty-five years have passed since the end of Khmer Rouge rule in Cambodia in 1979. Even so, the misery, death and destruction wrought in the name of revolution on a terrified population during the 1970s are still remembered. Now, a new voice is given to these memories in this compelling memoir written clearly and with unwavering honesty by a child survivor of the catastrophe that engulfed Cambodia.

Lim Muy Lang's "In the Shadow of the Khmer Rouge" is not the only account of Cambodia's darkest years; there are many. But it is undoubtedly one of the finest.

Congratulations to our author Laura Vermeeren for being awarded the 2026 ASCA (Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis) Book Award for "Ink Studies: Practices of Everyday Calligraphy in Contemporary China" (NUS Press, 2025) https://aihr.uva.nl/content/news/2026/06/asca-awards-2026. The judges’ citation reads:

“This year’s winner of the ASCA Book Award brings together ancient tradition and modern media in an innovative and deeply engaged way. It asks us to think about how writing and art interact through a practice with deep roots, which is being transformed and reinvented in the context of a changing society and the growth of digital culture…. Ink Studies takes us from the process of learning calligraphy, with its links to discipline and imitation of respected traditional styles, to the everyday and playful art of ‘water calligraphy’, practised in parks across China each morning…. The committee were deeply impressed with the depth, diligence and inventiveness of Vermeeren’s work, which is itself a work of mediation between past and present, art and writing, social structures and individual experiences. We are very pleased to present the award to Ink Studies.”

Written by an eminent Asian international jurist, scholar and former diplomat, "War and Peace in Asia" examines conflict and peace-building across Asia since 1945, providing a distinctly Asian perspective on international law and relations.
