University of Naples Federico II, 9-10 December 2022 The Departments of Social Sciences and of Humanities of the University of Naples Federico II, the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and the Department of History of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy are pleased to announce an open call for papers for the conference Chernobyl as a Historical Caesura: Environment, Politics, and Science to be held in Naples on 9-10 December 2022.

The 14th European Social Science History Conference will take place on 12-15 April 2023. It is organized by the International Institute of Social History in co-operation with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The aim of the ESSHC is bringing together scholars interested in explaining historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences.

This network addresses the basics of human wellbeing: health and human environment. Both fields are connected to (almos...

Histories of Knowledge: Political, Historical and Cultural Epistemologies in Intellectual History Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, 12-15 September 2022 The International Society for Intellectual History is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for its 2022 conference to be held in Venice. The conference addresses the knowledge-power entanglement in intellectual history, including at the level of historiography. In recent years, the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, the growth of global inequalities, and the emergence of global conspiracy theories have brought to the fore the political dimensions of knowledge by eliciting debates on issues such as post-truth, the crisis of expertise, and the control of data and information. Drawing inspiration from the pressing issues of today’s world, #ISIH2022 will use the lens of intellectual history to explore the mutual influence of ideas stemming from the political and cultural realms, ranging from philosophy to the sciences, the arts, an...

We are now inviting papers for our forthcoming Vol. 3. Issue 1, 2022 focusing on the theme of “FOOD, NUTRITION AND EDUCATION”, which is scheduled to be published June 2022. Last date of Submission will be 31 May 2022. Food, nutrition and their relationship to educational quality and outcomes is vital.

In this special issue of Global Educator we invite contributions that explore the issues, problems and debates around food and nutrition and its relationship to schooling in the developing world. Contributions should be theoretically informed, but also insightful with practical examples emphasizing your arguments. The Editors invite submissions of Feature Articles around 2000- 6000 words, Reflections from the...
