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.

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).
