Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite proposals for the Tenth Norwegian History of Science Conference (NHSC10), which is being organized by NVF - The Norwegian Association for the History of Science<https://foreninger.uio.no/nvf/english/>, and hosted in Bergen, Norway, 5-7 November 2025.
The theme of the conference is "Science and Communication"
About the Conference
The Norwegian History of Science Conference brings together scholars working on the history of science, medicine and technology on any theme, topic, or period to discuss historical, epistemological, political, institutional, and ethical issues of relevance to both Scandinavian and international audiences, welcoming researchers of all nationalities at all stages of their careers. The tenth conference in the series coincides with the 200th anniversary of Bergen Museum, the origins of the University of Bergen, and the local organizers extend a special invitation to those involved in history of science, medicine and technology taking place at museums and collections.
The first Norwegian Conference on the History of Science was organized in Oslo in 2008 with the aim of establishing a national network for historians of science, medicine and technology. Since then, the conference has been hosted biannually in Tromsø, Trondheim, Oslo, and Bergen, and the conference has established itself as a forum for both national and international exchange of ideas and collaboration. At the ninth conference held in Trondheim in 2023, NVF - The Norwegian Association for the History of Science was established to serve as host of the conference.
Theme
The overarching theme of this year's conference is "Science and Communication", understood in a broad sense. Twenty years ago, James Secord argued for studying science as communication, stressing the ways that ideas and practices were moved from one place to another. Following his call, historians of science have offered detailed studies of communication devices such as newspapers, public talks and demonstrations, movies, radio, and the internet have shaped what and how we know things. Others have studied ways to communicate, display, or store scientific knowledge and objects, for example in museums and collections. In the museum sector there has been an increased tendency to address ethical issues associated with the origins of their collections. Several studies have also offered new insights into who has been deemed the ideal science communicator, as well as how ideas about science audiences have changed. Last, but not least, a growing number of studies have offered invaluable insights into what knowledge has been deemed not suitable for communication, or what happens when knowledge is produced against the wishes of the scientist.
While the main theme of the conference is "Science and Communication", papers and panels on other topics related to the history of science, medicine and technology are equally welcome, as the conference aims to reflect ongoing activities in the field and continue to provide an important meeting point.
Keynote lectures will be given by Anne Eriksen from the University of Oslo and Staffan Bergwik from Stockholm University. Eriksen will talk about "Bergen Museum 1825. Knowledge for a Public Sphere", while Bergwik will talk about "Epochs, Trajectories, Rhythms: Visions of Historical Time and Scientific Knowledge in the 20th Century".

Call for Papers
Second Call
Cognition and Evolution in Historical and Social Research
September 23–24, 2025, Lund, Sweden
https://www.kultur.lu.se/cehsr2025
Over recent decades, cognitive science have significantly reshaped our understanding of human thought, while modern evolutionary theory has provided robust explanations of the biological origin of Homo sapiens. Yet, despite these transformative developments, cognitive and evolutionary perspectives remain under-integrated within mainstream historical and social research. This conference seeks to address this lacuna by exploring how cognitive and evolutionary approaches can enrich our understanding of the human condition in historical and societal contexts.
Recent advances in cognitive science, neuroscience, and genetics compel historians and social scientists to re-evaluate foundational paradigms. Concepts such as the embodied mind, situated and distributed cognition, and conceptual metaphor theory are increasingly applied within the humanities and social sciences, particularly in fields such as linguistics, literary studies, archaeology, and religious studies. Concurrently, emerging research in cultural evolution and cognitive theory has fostered a biologically and culturally grounded view of humans as products of long-standing bio-cultural co-evolutionary processes.
Evolutionary frameworks have gained traction in newly established interdisciplinary domains, including evolutionary cultural studies, evolutionary institutional economics, evolutionary linguistics, and cognitive evolution studies. These perspectives prompt historians and social scientists to re-examine core models and analogies—such as those comparing cultural and organismic evolution—and to investigate the roles of variation, selection, and inheritance (retention) within cultural dynamics.
At the heart of these inquiries lies a key question: how do cognitive processes—perception, memory, conceptualisation, embodied action, communicative practices, and institutional forms—function as mental constructs that contribute to social inertia or transformation? This conference invites scholarly contributions that explore these mechanisms and their implications for historical change and long-term social evolution.
The conference will take place at Lund University, Sweden. The nearest international airport is Copenhagen Airport (Denmark), with direct rail connections to Lund Central Station (approximately 35 minutes).
There is no conference fee. Participants are expected to arrange their own travel and accommodation. The event is sponsored by Royal Physiographic Society of Lund.

Den modernhistoriska vetenskapspodden En svensk tiger granskar SVT:s hyllade tv-serie om andra världskriget — ”Sverige och kriget”.
Vi bländas av tv-produktionen och bildmaterialet.
Men vetenskapligt är ”Sverige och kriget” långtifrån imponerande.
TV-seriens faktakontroll har inte fungerat (vi konstaterar 40 små och stora faktafel), men detta är bara början på seriens många och grava problem. Varför förespeglar SVT att experter granskat produktionen — trots att detta verkar ha skett enbart mycket begränsat? Hur kunde ”Sverige och kriget” ha kombinerat det fantastiska filmmaterialet med kunskapsmässig kvalitet? Hur kunde det bli så här, när svensk public service äntligen gjorde en ambitiös och dokumentär tv-serie om Sverige under krigsåren 1939-1945?
Vi har delat upp vår granskning av ”Sverige och kriget” i tre poddar, som du hittar här:
1. HISTORIKER TITTAR PÅ ”SVERIGE OCH KRIGET” — AVSNITTEN OM 1939-1941
https://ensvensktiger.org/2025/05/23/historiker-tittar-pa-sverige-och-krige…
2. HISTORIKER TITTAR PÅ ”SVERIGE OCH KRIGET” — AVSNITTEN OM 1941-1944
https://ensvensktiger.org/2025/06/05/historiker-tittar-pa-sverige-och-krige…
3. HISTORIKER TITTAR PÅ ”SVERIGE OCH KRIGET” – SISTA AVSNITTET OCH SLUTDISKUSSION
https://ensvensktiger.org/2025/06/26/historiker-tittar-pa-sverige-och-krige…
Medverkar gör docent Mikael Nilsson, historiker och expert på andra världskriget, samt även i det tredje poddavsnittet, professor emeritus Pär Frohnert, som forskat och undervisat om Nazityskland på Stockholms universitet i decennier. Samtalsledare är undertecknad. Ljudtekniker Per Juhlin, Beppo.
Vi önskar givande lyssning och hoppas på debatt!
Vänligen
Henrik Arnstad

Efter fjolårets succé i Uppsala bjuder föreningen Mediehistoriskt Arkiv åter in till symposium, denna gång med temat ” Från lilla till stora mediehistorien”. Temat är tänkt att uppmuntra till presentationer som vågar öka den mediehistoriska förklaringspotentialen bortom de enskilda fallstudierna; Hur går man som forskare från det lilla till det stora? Vilka forskningsfält kan mediehistoria dra nytta av för att skala upp och åstadkomma mer generella slutsatser? Finns det något kvalitativt nytt som uppstår i skärningspunkten mellan exempelvis medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap och historievetenskap?
Temat är inte tvingande – mediehistoriska studier av alla de slag välkomnas.
Abstracts om max 300 ord skickas senast 1 september till pelle.snickars(a)kultur.lu.se<mailto:pelle.snickars@kultur.lu.se>
