H-France has over 2700 subscribers from 40 nations. Currently, I am Editor-in-Chief for H-France, having responsibility to direct its general organization and plan and prepare future initiatives. In addition, I serve several roles in the H-France Review program, which produces annually about 160 reviews of books, documentaries, and new media resources. |
