2. CfP: LOCAL AND REGIONAL SCHOOL HISTORY (NordSTEP)
his special issue aims to emphasize the importance of historical studies of local activities in schools and in local or regional school policy, in order to understand and explain national and international trends and reforms in education. There is a substantial variation in how different local actors, communities and regions have handled national school policy, and furthermore there is a variation in how different countries have taken local variation into account, when executing a national school policy. We invite contributions which empirically and/or theoretically illustrate and investigate local and regional school history in relation to national reform aspirations and effects during the 19th or 20th century.
We are interested in a wide range of local school history research covering different
– school forms (including both child, youth and adult education);
– focal points (e.g. pedagogical, professional and political);
– horizontal and/or vertical dimensions (e.g. local, regional, national and international).

Deadline for manuscript submission: 20 January 2017

3. SÁMI SCHOOL HISTORY CONFERENCE
November 15th-16th 2016 Guovdageaidnu, Diehtosiida, Norway

The purpose of the conference is to highlight the research and writing of Sámi school history in four countries by looking at the situation of Sami school history research. The presentations give a picture about what has already been done at the Sami school history field. Conference participants will analyze further research needs.

It is needed to analyze from all-Sami perspective the school historical prosesses and peoples’ experiences. Sámi school research requires a change of perspective on three sides: First, research has been largely national state oriented, i.e. the state boundaries is perceived as paradigm for granted. Second, the Sámi people’s own perspective is just the recently been stepped up in the research. Third, the regional differences and the different characteristics of the Sámi population should be highlighted, in order to avoid anachronist image about Sámi people.

4. CfP: ISCHE 2017-BUENOS AIRES
ISCHE 39 in Buenos Aires will take place in the middle of the bicentennial of Latin American emancipatory processes. Nevertheless, the struggles toward emancipation is a worldwide topic. From Ancient history to nowadays, movements throughout the globe, of individuals, groups or societies have fought against domination. In the context of these struggles, there were important debates about how to modernize society to form part of the “civilised world”; thus, different ways of building modern nations as well as different ways of relating to the colonial past emerged around the world.

Education has played a major role within these processes: through instruction in the arts of war, through mass schooling or through the social transmission of values and behaviours. It often was perceived as a key instrument in the formation of new and emancipated citizens. Educational processes changed the relationship between centre and periphery and produced a vivid flow of social, political and pedagogical ideas that were inspired by universal trends and values as well international reform movements, while often adopting local perspectives.

This interplay of circulating ideas characterizes post-colonial pasts and their different histories of education. Dynamic developments of transculturation, hybridization and acculturation meanwhile have resulted in global and multifaceted debates. ISCHE 39 will be a powerful platform for historicizing the present and for exploring the theoretical and empirical richness of history of education as a field.

Sessions will be organized around the following eight themes:

1. Emancipation and colonization: educational ideas, concepts and practices
2. Approaches to processes of emancipation and/or colonization through school cultures and curriculum
3.Displaced identities, migrations and exiles in the history of education
4. Gender, sex and bodies in the processes of emancipation and/or colonization
5. Subjectivities, emotions and sensibilities in the processes of emancipation and/or colonization
6. Educational policies and actors in processes of emancipation and/or colonization
7. Teachers, scholars, and knowledge institutions in processes of emancipation and/or colonization
8. Images, gestures and sounds of emancipation and/or colonization: towards a multisensorial history of education

6. GUNNAR RICHARDSON (1924-2016)
Professor em. Gunnar Richardson (f. 1924), har avlidit 92 år gammal. Richardson, som bland annat varit verksam som politiker, disputerade 1963 på avhandlingen ”Kulturkamp och klasskamp: Ideologiska och sociala motsättningar i svensk skol- och kulturpolitik under 1880-talet”. Han publicerade därefter en stor mängd arbeten av utbildningshistorisk karaktär, däribland den populära läroboken ” Svensk utbildningshistoria: Skola och samhälle förr och nu” som 2010 kom ut i sin åttonde upplaga.
