1. HISTORY OF EDUCATION SUMMER SCHOOL, LEUVEN, SEPTEMBER 15-19, 2025
We are delighted to announce the upcoming History of Education Summer School, which will take place in Leuven in September 15-19, 2025.
This event is jointly organized by Professor Johannes Westberg (University of Groningen), Pieter Verstraete, and Sarah Van Ruyskensvelde.
After several successful editions hosted by the University of Groningen, the Summer School will be held in Leuven for the next three years!
This five-day Summer School is designed for PhD candidates, master’s thesis students, and early-career researchers. The 2025 edition will focus on the theme: “Voices and Silences in Historical Studies on Education.”
The program includes keynote lectures, hands-on seminars, and discussion groups that critically engage with primary and secondary sources, historiographical trends, and theoretical perspectives.
Our aim is to explore the complexities of history writing and the omissions within the historical record, paying particular attention to marginalized voices, including women, social and ethnic minorities, and underrepresented groups such as people with disabilities, whose roles in educational thought and practice have often been overlooked.
For further details, please visit our website: https://www.kuleuven.be/english/summer-schools/history-of-education-summer-school-2025
Applications are now open and will close on February 28, 2025.

3. CfA: SUMMER SCHOOL IN THE HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE
Lund Centre for Knowledge History (LUCK) invites applications for the sixth annual Doctoral Summer School in the History of Knowledge, to be held at Lund University, August 19–22, 2025. The Summer School is open to doctoral students and recent PhD graduates with an interest in the history of knowledge, broadly understood.
The history of knowledge is an expanding research field, aiming to provide new perspectives by focusing on the crucial role of knowledge in human history. It involves the study of how knowledge is constructed, circulated, and transformed across time and cultures. The syllabus covers key concepts and methodological approaches as well as a background to the field. Participants will engage in workshops, seminars on new literature, and receive feedback on their research projects.
LUCK is one of the leading institutions in the development of the history of knowledge. Currently, research at LUCK is organized around six focus areas: 1) History of the humanities, 2) everyday knowledge, 3) early modern knowledge societies, 4) postwar knowledge societies, 5) knowledge and education, and 6) digitization, historical scholarship and circulation of knowledge.
The teachers at the Summer School are all active researchers in the field, offering varied approaches to the history of knowledge. The language of instruction is English.
Participation in the Summer School is free of charge; however, attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. Participants from outside the European Union must ensure that they possess valid travel documents.
