Call for Papers
Short Years, Long Years, and Round Years: Anniversaries in the History of Science
The organizers invite papers on any aspect of the history of science, technology or medicine and particularly welcome papers engaging with the issue of anniversaries, broadly defined.
Historians can be ambivalent about anniversaries. On one hand, they offer an opportunity to reassess and mobilize interest in topics that otherwise would not receive widespread attention. Anniversaries are an occasion to reflect on the enduring importance of history to the contemporary world and are frequently used to argue for funding specific projects. On the other hand, not all topics of historical interest have anniversaries; anniversaries may isolate topics from their historical context or facilitate an arbitrary juxtaposition of past and present; and they may foster expectations that the past must be celebrated rather than critically analyzed. Such topics are fundamental to historical inquiry, prompting reflection on the relationships between scholars and audiences, between research and social context - including teaching - and between events of the past and the imperatives of the present.
We welcome submissions from scholars at all career stages and based in all parts of the world, and especially from early career researchers. Proposals for sessions may take the form of individual paper submissions, panels consisting of multiple contributions, or roundtable discussions. We also invite submissions for more practically oriented workshop sessions aimed at sharing experiences and best practices related to teaching and dissemination of history of science. To encourage discussion, individual papers should not exceed twenty minutes in length. The language of the conference is English.
Deadline for submissions June 1.

Hej!
Här kommer CFP från Lychnos.
Här har det skett en avgörande förändring då Lychnos övergått till löpande digital publicering av artiklar som avses för tidskriftens öppna del (alltså finns inte längre en fast deadline att förhålla sig till). Vi välkomnar därför inlämning av bidrag när som helst under året och vår ambition är att tiden från det att en artikel skickas in, till det att ett redaktionellt beslut är fattat och den kan publiceras "online first", inte ska ta mer än tre månader. Så skicka gärna in ert bidrag så snart som möjligt så finns möjlighet att inom en snar framtid ha en vetenskaplig artikel publicerad!
Hoppas alla sett det nya numret! https://tidskriftenlychnos.se/

CFP: Eighth Annual Conference on the History of Recent Social Science (HISRESS)
*Department of History of Science and Ideas, Uppsala University*
9–10 June 2023
Abstract deadline: 10 February
This two-day conference of the Society for the History of Recent Social Science (HISRESS), at Uppsala University in Sweden, will bring together researchers working on the history of post-World War II social science. It will provide a forum for the latest research on the cross-disciplinary history of the post-war social sciences, including but not limited to anthropology, economics, psychology, political science, and sociology as well as related fields like area studies, communication studies, history, international relations, law, and linguistics. The conference aims to build upon the recent emergence of work and conversation on cross-disciplinary themes in the postwar history of the social sciences.
https://hisress.org/cfp
Submissions are welcome in such areas including, but not restricted to:
* The interchange of social science concepts and figures among the academy and wider intellectual and popular spheres
* Comparative institutional histories of departments and programs
* Border disputes and boundary work between disciplines as well as academic cultures
* Themes and concepts developed in the history and sociology of natural and physical science, reconceptualized for the social science context
* Professional and applied training programs and schools, and the quasi-disciplinary fields (like business administration) that typically housed them
* The role of social science in post-colonial state-building governance
* Social science adaptations to the changing media landscape
* The role and prominence of disciplinary memory in a comparative context
* Engagements with matters of gender, sexuality, race, religion, nationality, disability and other markers of identity and difference
The two-day conference will be organized as a series of one-hour, single-paper sessions attended by all participants. Ample time will be set aside for intellectual exchange between presenters and attendees, as all participants are expected to read pre-circulated papers in advance.
Proposals should contain no more than 1000 words, indicating the originality of the paper. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 10 February 2023. Final notification will be given in early March 2023 after proposals have been reviewed. Completed papers will be expected by 5 May 5 2023.
Please note that published or forthcoming papers are not eligible, owing to the workshop format.
The organizing committee consists of Jenny Andersson (Uppsala University), Jamie Cohen-Cole (George Washington University), Philippe Fontaine (École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay), Leah Gordon (Brandeis University), Jeff Pooley (Muhlenberg College), and Per Wisselgren (Uppsala University).
All proposals and requests for information should be sent to submissions(a)hisress.org<https://mailto:submissions@hisress.org/>.
