CFP Music, Migration, and the Exchange of Knowledge: The Baltics in Global Perspective

 Call for papers Music, Migration, and the Exchange of Knowledge: The Baltics in Global Perspective

Second Bicontinental Symposium of The Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation, Vilnius–New York

Vilnius, 25–26 November 2027, Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre

New York, 19–20 April 2028, The Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation, CUNY

Call for Papers

In 2027 and 2028, The Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation will host a bicontinental symposium, coorganized in partnership with the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. The central question of this symposium is how the migration of peoples as well as their ideas, practices, and cultural artifacts has shaped the epistemic systems through which musical knowledge is produced, transmitted, and understood across different territories. The symposium focuses specifically on the migration of musical knowledge to and from the Baltic countries—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—from the late nineteenth century onward. 

Drawing on theoretical discourses of migration in music and culture, the symposium considers how large-scale movements of peoples profoundly transformed musical life during the twentieth century. Migration from the Baltics was often shaped by political upheavals, particularly during and after the First and Second World Wars, when musicians, scholars, and cultural agents sought refuge from wars, totalitarian regimes, and occupations. In their new host countries, these individuals encountered musical environments and traditions that contributed to processes of cultural exchange, internationalization, and the transformation of musical knowledge.

Scholars from all disciplines whose work engages with music in specific and broader cultural contexts are invited to submit proposals addressing the following topics:

Musical and musicological knowledge created in the context of displacement and exile

Historical transformations in the exchange of musical knowledge

The role of intellectual and scholarly networks in the creation, dissemination, and circulation of musicological knowledge across geographical areas

The impact of migration on institutional collaborations and networks, including the relationship between institutional and individual exchanges

The role of women, Indigenous peoples, and other often underrepresented groups in the production and transmission of musical knowledge

The influence of migration and exile experience on academic, popular, pedagogical, and other forms of musical thought

We hope to receive proposals that seek to examine diverse forms of musical knowledge exchange, including academic, popular, pedagogical, and religious aspects.

This is the second edition of the bicontinental symposium by The Barry S. Brook Center for Music Research and Documentation, following its first event on musical exchanges between Spain and the Americas, organized in cooperation with the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (Barcelona) in 2024/2025.

CALL FOR PAPERS

STAND Conference 2027: Asymmetries of Power in Science Diplomacy

Lisbon, Portugal, 21 to 23 July 2027

International relations have entered an "age of disruption," as it was termed by the Royal Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in their 2025 joint report on science diplomacy. In this context, the potential of science diplomacy solely as a tool of cooperation is being increasingly questioned in the face of divisive nationalisms, destabilizing technologies, and mounting geopolitical competition.

Recent historical research has shown that when experts, politicians, diplomats, activists, and other actors come together, they bring national and local interests that must be negotiated with the ideals and practices of global cooperation. Moreover, these negotiations do not take place on neutral ground, and historical research has demonstrated how asymmetries of power and hierarchies of knowledge fundamentally shape the international arena. Historical approaches can provide context for contemporary tensions in the discourse on science diplomacy, providing nuanced and critical perspectives for scholarship and policymaking.

The Commission on Science, Technology, and Diplomacy (STAND) of the Division of History of Science and Technology (DHST/IUHPST) wishes to discuss these matters in its next international conference on Asymmetries of Power in Science Diplomacy, which is jointly organized with the NOVA University of Lisbon, in a partnership between the Interuniversity Center for the History of Science and Technology (CIUHCT) at NOVA School of Science and Technology (NOVA FCT), and the Portuguese Institute of International Relations (IPRI) at NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities (NOVA FCSH). It will take place at NOVA FCSH, Campolide Campus, in Lisbon, Portugal, from 21 to 23 July 2027.

We welcome proposals that critically address power dynamics in current and past international negotiations on science, technology, medicine, and related fields, considering:

The political, economic, and cultural integration of regional and national spaces across the Global North/South and East/West divides, as well as within each bloc

The design and implementation of cooperation and assistance programs to build technological infrastructure, scientific capability (including exchange student programs), public health (e.g. vaccination campaigns), etc.

The coordination of efforts to contain transnational threats, such as cyberattacks, pandemics, nuclear proliferation, bioterrorism, pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change or existential AI risks

Formal and informal imperialist relations, including continuities and discontinuities from colonial to postcolonial times

The definition and imposition of standards for scientific nomenclature, units, concepts, theories, practices, instrumentation, etc.

We are interested in looking at the roles played not only by individuals, but also by expert organizations (universities, academies, professional societies) and non-state actors (national and international NGOs, the private sector, civil society initiatives). Likewise, we encourage proposals that consider the agency of women, indigenous peoples, and other historically underrepresented or marginalized communities.

[SUBMISSION GUIDELINES]

Please send us an abstract (150 to 300 words), including proponents' name(s) and affiliation(s) by email to:

Email: dgm@fct.unl.pt (with subject: STAND Conference 2027)

Extended Deadline: 15 November 2026

The STAND Commission remains committed to finding ways to support in-person attendance for scholars in need, including those at early career stages.

Call for papers: Carbon Cultures: Practices, Visualities and Material Ecologies in the Fossil Age

 Call for papers: Carbon Cultures: Practices, Visualities and Material Ecologies in the Fossil Age, Käte Hamburger Kolleg, Universität Kassel, 04.03.2027 - 05.03.2027, Deadline 30.11.2026

The research center "Rohstoffwelten - Kulturen im Umbruch", a Käte Hamburger Kolleg at the University of Kassel, investigates how societies constitute, organize, and transform their relations with raw materials. Rather than treating resources as given material objects or as neutral inputs into economic processes, the center approaches them as part of historically specific “resource worlds”: configurations in which material properties and infrastructures intersect with institutions, power relations, social practices, knowledge, technologies, cultural meanings, and imaginaries. Bringing together perspectives from the humanities and social sciences, the center examines how such resource worlds emerge and stabilize, how they organize access, use, and distribution, and how they are contested and transformed. Its four Profile Areas – Raw Material Cultures, Raw Material Practices, Raw Material Regimes, and Critique/Reflection – provide integrative, interdisciplinary, connected, and complementary perspectives on these processes.

The center’s first thematic year, Carbon Culture, takes the fossil foundations of modern societies as its common point of departure. Coal, oil, and gas have not simply supplied energy to otherwise independently developing societies; their extraction, circulation, and use have become deeply embedded in infrastructures, institutions, patterns of production and consumption, everyday practices, forms of social reproduction, and cultural meanings and imaginaries. Carbon Culture therefore refers to the historically specific social formations through which fossil resources have become constitutive of modern ways of life and societal organization. The first thematic year asks how these fossil-based resource worlds emerged and became institutionalized, why they have proven so persistent despite mounting ecological, technological, political, and geopolitical pressures, and how they are currently being challenged, adapted, and recomposed. Rather than assuming a linear transition from a fossil to a post-fossil order, the center examines the tensions between persistence and transformation and the ways in which existing and emerging resource worlds become layered, recombined, fragmented, or replaced.

Workshop Description:

This workshop is organized by the Profile Area Raw Material Cultures, Prof. Dr. Liliana Gómez and Dr. Katrin Nahidi, at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg Rohstoffwelten, University of Kassel. We use carbon culture as an analytical category to situate modern and contemporary art and cultural production within the fossil resource worlds of their creation, circulation, and valuation. These conditions have long been treated as neutral background rather than as culture. This workshop takes that invisibility itself as its object of study. To this end, we propose establishing a research field called Carbon Art History, a rewriting of artand cultural history through the lens of carbon culture. It asks how fossil resources came to be perceived as a natural condition instead of a political project that produces legitimation, visual regimes, and orders of knowledge.

Carbon culture produces more than just narratives; it produces a material culture in the most literal sense: artworks, exhibitions, archives, and the apparatuses through which images and collections are created, transported, and preserved, and the material and epistemic conditions of producing art. Methodologically, the workshop builds on Energy Humanities, extending them specifically into art history as cultural history. It brings together approaches from archaeology, museum studies, material cultural studies, and visual culture, combining them with close readings of artistic and archival production.

As an emerging field, Carbon Art History cannot rely solely on Energy Humanities. It requires a genuinely interdisciplinary methodology that combines materialist approaches with postcolonial and decolonial material histories. Drawing on posthumanist thought, we shift attention from human actors to the material life of resources, artifacts, and images. However, we hold this shift accountable to questions of power. In our approach, materiality is never abstracted from the colonial and postcolonial histories through which specific resources, sites, and images became extractable, valuable, or invisible.

The workshop employs several complementary lenses. A sociopolitical and historical lens asks about the entanglements between extractivism, petromodernity, archaeology, and museum formation, and how coloniality persists as a structure while manifesting in different forms across various modes of extractivism. A material lens examines the ecological footprint of image production and the underlying resource dependencies of photography and cultural heritage. A political lens traces how oil economies have shaped visuality, cultural and artistic infrastructures.

Considering these different accounts, the workshop asks what it means to (re)write a decolonial material history of art, one that acknowledges the agency of things and the colonial and postcolonial conditions of their extraction, circulation, and preservation. How do material and discursive registers co-produce each other in these processes? Aesthetics may become complicit with fossil ways of life through these very material entanglements, without losing sight of the specific historical, geopolitical, and institutional conditions under which carbon cultures take shape. At the same time, the arts constitute their own mode of knowledge production, which can challenge and unsettle dominant epistemologies and has the potential to resist and dismantle dominant forms of fossil modernity. This tension serves as the workshop’s productive starting point. Thus, the workshop aims to test the analytical potential of carbon culture across regions, periods, and media, as well as to develop shared concepts and methods for Carbon Art History.

Guiding Questions:

- How does carbon culture manifest itself in aesthetics, narratives, and worldviews across different historical and regional contexts? What new periodization does this reveal?

- What visual, material, and media cultures have formed around fossil and carbon-based raw materials, and how have these cultures shaped perceptions of energy and modernity?

- How does coloniality persist as a repeatable yet variable structure across different extraction regimes?

- Which cultural blind spots, silences, and exclusions have allowed carbon cultures to persist unnoticed as merely infrastructural?

- How have oil economies built, funded, and shaped cultural infrastructures, such as museums, biennials, and collecting institutions?

Information and requirements for participants:

The workshop offers space for up to 12 participants, and the call is addressed to researchers at postdoctoral level and above. A publication is planned to follow the workshop. Prospective contributions should be presented and discussed during the sessions. Limited funds are available to support travel and accommodation.

Application modalities:

Applicants are invited to submit a 250-word abstract and a 150-word bio to rohstoffwelten@uni-kassel.de by 30 November 2026 as a single PDF including the title, abstract, and short bio, affiliation, and contact details. If the abstract is accepted, a five-page paper draft will be required for circulation among workshop participants in advance.

Call for papers: Humans, Animals, Nature: Everyday Life in (Post-)Conflict Societies in Eastern and Southeastern Europe and the Caucasus since 1989

 Call for papers: Humans, Animals, Nature: Everyday Life in (Post-)Conflict Societies in Eastern and Southeastern Europe and the Caucasus since 1989

The Early Career Researchers of the GSOSES/UR are pleased to inform you about their 8th Annual Graduate Workshop. The workshop will focus on the topic 'Humans, Animals, Nature: Everyday Life in (Post-)Conflict Societies in Eastern and Southeastern Europe and the Caucasus since 1989'. It will take place from February 4-5, 2027, in Regensburg. The deadline for paper submissions is 20 November, 2026.

The Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies at the University of Regensburg, in cooperation with the Leibniz ScienceCampus Europe and America in the Modern World, is pleased to announce the upcoming 8th Graduate Workshop.

As we were drafting this call for papers, travellers from a train from the east to the west of Ukraine were forced to get off in the middle of the night and seek for shelter from a Russian airstrike. This has become part of everyday life for many Ukrainians for the past four and a half years. What struck one of the observers was that small children, as well as pets, were silent: no cries, no barks, no meows. Similar scenes could be witnessed in Bosnia or Chechnya, in Kosovo or Georgia, in Nagorno-Karabakh or Transnistria, and elsewhere in the region. Everyday life does not end after the first airstrikes or the first burst of machine-gun fire. It continues. But is it still “normal”? Can we still speak about everyday life during armed conflict and afterwards for people, animals, and their environment affected and altered by war?

War does not simply interrupt everyday life but transforms how it is experienced and organised. Research on “everyday war” and on violence becoming incorporated into the “ordinary” has shown how people across generations, genders, and social and geographical settings negotiate and reconstruct “normal” life during and after armed conflict. Alongside this focus on human experience, posthumanist thought has prompted scholars to reconsider animal agency and to place animals at the centre of narratives of everyday life. Beyond human–animal relations, “warfare ecology” treats preparations, war, and postwar activities as overlapping stages with consequences for both natural and social systems. Recent studies further show how landscapes and ecosystems both shape and are transformed by military conflict, how wartime changes in soundscapes reveal its effects on human and non-human life, and how war waste leaves ecological legacies extending well beyond the end of fighting.

Building on these perspectives, this workshop seeks to explore how military conflicts transform natural, cultivated, extractive, and engineered environments, how people perceive and use war-affected landscapes, and how ecological damage and efforts at restoration continue to shape everyday life during and after armed conflict. Rather than asking only how war destroys everyday life, we ask how it is reconfigured through and after military conflict, and whether it can still be understood as “normal”. Over two days, we aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue among early-career scholars, including doctoral researchers and postdocs working across history, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, literary studies, film studies, environmental studies, and human–animal studies, and related fields. We welcome contributions addressing any of these dimensions, as well as their intersections.

We invite contributions on, but not limited to, the following themes:

(1) “normality” and the normalisation of everyday life during and after armed conflict, across age, gender, and place;

(2) animals’ experiences during and after armed conflict, including the everyday lives of pets, zoo animals, stray animals, farm animals, and wild animals, as well as human–animal relations, trauma, care, and adaptation;

(3) the “everyday” of nature, including the destruction, transformation, and restoration of war-affected environments as well as the perception and use of nature in society;

(4) outsiders’ perspectives on everyday life in (post-)conflict societies, including international news media and accounts by diplomats, intelligence officers, humanitarian volunteers, travellers, occupying soldiers, and mercenaries and foreign combatants;

(5) visual representations in film, graphic novels, survival computer games, and other art forms and cultural productions.

Call for papers: ‘Beyond Pavlov: Understandings of Psychological Distress in Eastern Europe’

 Call for papers: ‘Beyond Pavlov: Understandings of Psychological Distress in Eastern Europe’

An International 2-day symposium to take place at the University of Warwick (UK), 13-14 May 2027

Deadline for the Submission of Abstracts: 1 January 2027

The figure of Ivan Pavlov has continued to loom large in histories of the psy-disciplines under communism. The rejection of psychoanalysis in favour of a Pavlovian behaviourist model in the Soviet Union, as well as many parts of Eastern Europe after WWII, has long distinguished socialist mental health care from Western psychiatric practices. The ‘Pavlovisation’ of science and medicine in the Soviet sphere of influence has been widely linked to communist psychiatry’s neglect of the mental realm in favour of physiological explanations and its isolation from Western developments. Yet, as scholars have recently begun to show, political pressures did not stamp out a plurality of approaches to the mind under state socialism. Contesting the tendency to see the socialist path of psychiatric care as starkly distinct from the West, recent histories have uncovered a continuing interest in psychological experience and a body of scientific research on the question of traumatised consciousness. While recognising the constraints placed on medical experts in the region, this symposium asks what might be missed in understanding East European psy-expertise solely through the lens of Pavlovian orthodoxy? This 2-day symposium will bring together scholars from different disciplinary and area specialisms to consider how psy-experts in the region have challenged, revised or expanded Pavlovian paradigms.

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Benjamin Zajicek, Towson University

 

The organisers invite abstracts for papers that address the following questions: 

What were the limits of Pavlovian theory’s influence on institutional practices and everyday experiences of distress, rehabilitation, and social reintegration?

How did interpretations of Pavlov’s teaching differ across the Soviet republics and/or the Eastern Bloc? How did specific local contexts shape research, diagnosis, and the treatment of psychological distress within caregiving and punitive institutions?

What other paradigms did Soviet and Eastern European medical and scientific experts deploy in understanding the psychological repercussions of revolution, war, displacement, famine, and state repression? 

How did medical and scientific experts’ understandings of Pavlov’s legacy shift over time?  What changes took place in how experts in the region understood the relationship between mind, body and environment?  

To what extent did transnational networks and debates in the psy‑sciences impact understandings of mental health and illness in the region, and vice versa?

What meanings did Pavlovian concepts acquire in popular culture and in first person accounts? What overlaps and/or tensions existed between cultural and medical understandings of Pavlov’s theories?

The symposium is part of the Wellcome-funded research project: ‘Traumatised Minds: Neurosis and Hysteria in Soviet Medicine and Culture, 1917-1953’. 

Organisers: Anna Toropova, Olga Smolyak, and Tom Stevens (University of Warwick)

Scientiae 2027 (Torino, 17-19 June): CFP Open

 Scientiae 2027 (Torino, 17-19 June): CFP Open

Dear all, the 14th annual meeting of *Scientiae* will take place in Torino, Italy. We are delighted to accept proposals, and we are keenly aware of the importance of continuing our forum, especially for its proven suitability for collaboration between senior and early career historians.

While the brand of *Scientiae* has grown considerably, demonstrating its ongoing relevance, every past attendee knows that ‘interdisciplinary’ is not just a keyword for us, but a productive look at epistemic practices in the transformation of learning. Likewise, our methodology does not merely reflect a variety or another of history of knowledge, but also considers breakdowns or blind spots, image-making, the supernatural, and it is highly conducive to a global perspective.

The congress is open to all topics related to the 1400-1800 period. Some papers will be strongly theoretical, others deeply archival, but in any case researchers who meet at *Scientiae* come prepared for *significant discussions*. The assemblage of sessions will naturally build on our desire to promote a thematic exchange between fields of study, rather than a preformed sense of proximity, be it disciplinary, academic, or geographic.

As the programme begins to coalesce, we are proud to announce keynotes by *Miguel Ángel Granada* and *Eva Del Soldato*. Our second “Jim Bennett Lecture” will be presented by *Boris Jardine*. Our invited speakers include André Goddu, Oded Rabinovitch, Grażyna Jurkowlaniec, Vladimir Brljak, Daniel Špelda, Bernd Roling, Catherine Abou-Nemeh, Barbara Bienias, and many others. Stay tuned for more!

The organizing committee includes Barbara Bienias, Sofia Degli Esposti, Lisa Klotz, Stefano Gulizia, and Lucie Storchová. The organization will choose 3 bursaries from graduate student submissions and their evaluation will be based on merit alone. 

We envision three ways to join:

   - Individual, 20-minute papers: Please submit a descriptive title,    200-word abstract, and one-page CV.

   - Complete panels: Same as above for each paper, plus 200-word rationale    for the panel. Maximum four presenters, including chair (and/or respondent).

   - Workshops or seminars: One-page CV for each session leader, plus    200-word plan explaining the topic's suitability, and its techniques or    resources.

Submit your proposal *before January 31st, 2027*, at sgulizia@gmail.com, and direct there any inquiry, as well. There will be no extension of this deadline. All results — acceptances and bursaries — will be communicated by February 20th, at the latest. As always, participation to *Scientiae* is contingent on our registration fee, which is our sole source of revenues.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Torino!
