Tina Chen has received the 2022 Distinguished Editor Award from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) for her work editing Verge: Studies in Global Asias. The selection committee praised Chen's foundational work in an emerging field, emphasizing that Chen has "helped develop a new field of Global Asias scholarship, created an infrastructure for the maintenance of that field, and developed a host of innovative frameworks for collaborative work and productive disagreement." The committee also noted Chen's work mentoring graduate students and collaborating with special-issue editors, and commended her for reminding us "what a great editor can do in fostering the intellectual environment in which new ideas can flourish."

Verge was previously named Best New Journal by the CELJ in 2016, and Chen was recently awarded a Henry Luce Foundation Grant for her directorship (alongside Charlotte Eubanks) of the related Global Asias Intiative.

Congratulations, Tina, on this remarkable achievement, one of many that recognizes your ongoing and important work in expanding the field of Global Asias studies!
