1. SUMMER SCHOOL: USING THEORY IN THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION
24-28 June 2024, Groningen, the Netherlands
Theories and theoretical perspectives are key to historical research: the perspectives and the concepts chosen affect research design, interpretations and results. Despite this, historians (of education, childhood, psychology etc.) may express a certain ambivalence towards the application of theory, opting for “empirical” rather than “theoretically-informed” studies. As such positions indicate, there are certainly a wide range of ways in which theory is understood, appreciated, and consequently applied.
In this third Groninger summer school, scholars from the humanities and social sciences from Netherlands, Belgium and the Nordics will hold lectures, lead seminars and workshops that provide a unique opportunity to not only broaden your theoretical horizon, but also to explore the various ways in which theoretical perspectives can be applied in your own research projects.

Soft deadline for applications: March 1, 2024.
2. CfP: THE MAKING OF THE HUMANITIES XI, LUND, 2024
In 2024, the eleventh conference in the series “The Making of the Humanities” will be hosted by the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK), Lund University, between 9 and 11 October 2024. Call for papers and panels is now open.
The Making of the Humanities conferences are organized by the Society for the History of the Humanities and bring together scholars interested in the history of a wide variety of fields. We welcome panels and papers on any period or region. We are especially interested in work that transcends the history of specific humanities disciplines by comparing scholarly practices across disciplines and civilisations.
This year’s special conference theme is “Shifting Cultures of Knowledge in the History of the Humanities”. In 2024, we encourage papers that address the history of the humanities in relation to broader, multidisciplinary studies on knowledge and scholarship.
Deadline for abstracts: 1 May.
