Mårten Söderblom Saarela

I received my PhD from Princeton University in 2015, and hold an MA in Sinology from the School of Oriental and African Studies. I am a historian of late imperial China, interested in the cultural and intellectual history of language. In addition to my current project on Manchu, a continuation of my dissertation work, I'm working on a few other projects of varying on scope on linguistic matters in China and beyond.

I use LaTeX for as much of my writing as possible. To increase its use within the humanities, and East Asian studies in particular, I have written a Guide to LaTeX for East Asianists. The guide was last updated in 2012, and many important issues are not covered, or are covered inadequately. One day I will update it. In the meantime, I'm making the current version available here.
