ANNOUNCEMENT: 9DASHLINE APPOINTS NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

5 April 2021

We are delighted to announce that former Associate Editor Dr Manali Kumar takes over as our new Editor-in-Chief.

After an enormously successful first year in operation which has seen 9DL host hundreds of articles from dozens of established and upcoming writers, we are excited to move into the next phase of our development under Dr Kumar’s leadership.

Since joining last summer Dr Kumar has become a valuable member of our editorial team and further enabled 9DL to deliver high-quality insight and analysis on developments right across the Indo-Pacific.

In addition to her contribution to the field of academia, Dr Kumar brings a wealth of experience with previous roles in risk and strategic consultancy. She is currently an International Postdoctoral Fellow with the Institute of Political Science at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland where her research focuses on prudence in statecraft, and India's national identity and roles as a rising power.

John Pollock of 9DASHLINE in a statement said:

“Having worked with Dr Kumar over the last year, I am absolutely delighted to have her lead 9DASHLINE as our new Editor-in-Chief. She brings a wealth of experience and a passion for international affairs and will undoubtedly take 9DL to new heights. I am excited to see us develop under her leadership”.
