Meet and Greet with Brigitta van Rheinberg of Princeton University Press
Associate Director of Princeton University Press Brigitta van Rheinberg will visit us to discuss Princeton University Press and academic publishing. There will be a short presentation followed by an informal Q&A.
Brigitta van Rheinberg is the Associate Director of Princeton University Press and the
Executive Director of Global Development.
She has been at the Press for over 30 years in various roles, including sales, special sales,
international rights, and editorial. She was the Press’s History Publisher for over 25 years
publishing some of the Press’s major books in American, European, and World History, and
from 2006-2016 she led the Press’s Editorial Program as Editor-in-Chief. As Director of
Global Development, she led the Press’s China initiative for many years and established
Princeton’s Global Lecture series. Recently, she has turned her focus to important parts of
Princeton’s backlist, reviving the Bollingen series (ca 275 books) and spearheading a new
translation and Critical Edition of C.G. Jung in 26 volumes.
Brigitta holds a PhD in History from Tübingen University in Germany and lives in Princeton.
