Alisa A. PlantEuropean/Atlantic World History, and Media Studies Editor
Alisa Plant received a B.A. in English from the University of Kansas, an M.A. in Medieval Studies from Yale University, and an M.Phil. and Ph.D. in history, also from Yale. Over the years she has worn various editorial hats: she worked as a text editor at the Yale Center for Parliamentary History and as a freelance copy editor for LSU Press before moving to acquisitions and joining the in-house Press staff in 2005. She acquires books in history, political science, and media studies. In history, she seeks academic books about Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Atlantic World from the early modern era to the mid-twentieth century; she also acquires works about colonial Louisiana. She is particularly interested in acquiring books about France or Spain, either on their own or as part of the larger Atlantic World. In political science, she seeks scholarly books that focus on Louisiana or the South. She also oversees the Press’s Media & Public Affairs series (Bob Mann, series editor), consisting of trade books that emphasize applied lessons and practical advocacy: what citizens and public officials know, where they get their information, and how they use that information to act.
