1. BOKLANSERING: NYE STEMMER I NORSK UTDANNINGSHISTORIE
Velkommen til boklansering av «Nye stemmer i norsk utdanningshistorie. Fra 1800-tallets nasjonalisme til vår tids usamtidige utdanningsreformer», 16 oktober, 2025, kl 16:00.
Om boka
Internasjonalt har det utdanningshistoriske feltet endret seg og vokst de siste tiårene. I samme periode har skole- og pedagogisk idéhistorie i Norge mistet sin tradisjonelle posisjon innen pedagogikk og lærerutdanning. De siste årene har derimot utdanningshistoriske tema blitt løftet innen samfunnsvitenskap, humaniora og ulike skolefag. De ni artiklene i denne antologien gir eksempler fra dagens utdanningshistoriske perspektiv og forskning.
Program
Velkomst ved Brit Marie Hovland og Heidrun Øverby.
Omvisning i skolemuseets lokaler.
Bokpresentasjon ved redaktørene Henrik Edgren og Brit Marie Hovland.

2. CfP: THE CHILDREN’S HISTORY SOCIETY, FIFTH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
The Fifth biennial conference of the Children’s History Society will be held at the University of Sheffield from 1-3 July, 2026!
The fifth biennial conference of The Children’s History Society seeks to examine histories of children and young people’s experiences of space, place, belonging and identity. Children and young people live in myriad forms of entanglement. At a local, relational level there is intragenerational entanglement with peers, with family and community, and with people encountered via institutions such as school, youth and leisure groups. There are interspecies encounters too with the materiality of location, weather and climate. However, there is also entanglement at a different scale, in which children and their local cultural contexts are impacted by their interactions with national and global ideas, practices and discourses – contemporary and historical.
We invite panel contributions, papers and alternative forms of presentation from scholars (established and emerging, including ECRs and PGRs) working on histories of childhood and youth across ancient, medieval and modern history, and across disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology, education, museology, law, geography and visual culture. We also encourage diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches, geographical scope, chronological period, and cultural/religious/spiritual backgrounds.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 23:59 UCT 14 December 2025

4. CfP: THE 9TH ZURICH WORKSHOP FOR THE HISTORY OF EDUCATION
April 8th-9th, 2026, Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft Zurich (CH)
The 9th Zurich Workshop on Historical Educational Research is aimed at doctoral students who want to present and discuss fundamental questions of historical educational research based on their dissertation projects. Designed as a platform for exchange among doctoral candidates, the workshop’s focus is on presenting and discussing the current state of the students’ work, concentrating on methodological and theoretical reflections rather than
content-related discussions.
The contributions should focus on how research questions, theoretical and methodological premises, as well as sources and research literature, are related. Additionally, they should demonstrate the research interest pursued, and the research context in which the expected results are situated. The workshop addresses the diversity of current research approaches and aims to explore the potential of interdisciplinary methodological considerations for historical research in education. Accordingly, the following guiding questions are central to the presentations and subsequent discussions:
How do the selected sources fit the research question and the subject that is to be described and analysed? How can the selection of sources be justified?
What type of sources does the theoretical framework require? With which theoretical assumptions is the material organized, structured, and analyzed? What terminology is introduced and how is it used?
How is the presentation of the results structured? What phenomena or considerations should be substantiated or refuted with the results?
What methodological considerations are made? What historiographical potentials and contributions arise from the chosen perspective? What comes into focus, and what remains unseen?
The Call for Papers is exclusively aimed at doctoral candidates working on a topic relevant to the history of education, no matter the discipline in which the doctorate is pursued.
Applications must be submitted via email to: werkstatt@ife.uzh.ch by October 31, 2025.
The workshop will be accompanied by Prof. Michaela Vogt and Dr. Lukas Boser Hofmann, who will provide feedback on the presentations, participate in discussions, and share insights from their research experience.
Expenses for accommodation are paid by the University of Zurich. Travel expenses are to be covered by the participants themselves.
