Call for abstracts: conference for the History of Human Sciences
The
European Society for the History of
the Human Sciences (ESHHS) invites submissions to its
conference to be held
from July 17 to July 20, 2018. The conference is
hosted by the department of
Theory and History of Psychology, Faculty of Behavioural and
Social Sciences,
University of Groningen, the Netherlands and organized
in collaboration with
Open University of the Netherlands.
Oral
presentations, posters, sessions or
workshops may deal with any aspect of the history of the
human, behavioural and
social sciences or with related historiographic and
methodological issues
(including those related to digital history).
This year we

submissions that deal with external factors - political,
ethical, economical or
otherwise - that lead to marginalization of theoretical and
historical research
in the human, behavioural and social sciences.
