Greg Brown (History) has been chosen as the new general editor of  'Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment.' He will continue to broaden the temporal and geographic scope of the series to embrace global Enlightenment culture (including burgeoning areas of research, such as southern and eastern Europe, the Hispanic world, and environmental studies). Brown wrote a letter to colleagues following his appointment. 

This year marked the 60th anniversary of the series founded by Theodore Besterman as the 'Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century'. In future years, the series’ traditional strengths of intellectual rigor and high-quality author care will be maintained, while at the same time developing new digital models of scholarly communication and dissemination.
