Call for Abstracts: The Past and Present of Humanities Peer Review

 Call for Abstracts: The Past and Present of Humanities Peer Review

Special Issue of Minerva - A Review of Science, Learning and Policy

Abstract submission deadline: 15 March 2024

Peer review, i.e. the institutionalized evaluation of scholars and their outputs by others working in the same field, is fundamental to knowledge production and research evaluation in the present-day humanities. However, the origins and development of humanities peer review remain remarkably poorly understood, particularly in comparison to the history of peer review in the natural and social sciences. This special issue aims to bridge this knowledge gap by exploring the historical evolution of peer review in humanities disciplines such as history, theology, philosophy, musicology, and linguistics. It seeks to uncover the diverse forms of humanities peer review that have existed throughout history, extending beyond currently dominant practices of academic peer review. By starting to explore the global historical context of peer review in the humanities and by situating this history alongside the history of scientific peer review, this special issue offers valuable insights for historians and sociologists interested in academic evaluation, quality control, and gatekeeping. Additionally, by revealing the broad spectrum of evaluative practices that have historically been employed within the humanities, it opens up new perspectives that have the potential to inspire the present and future of peer review across the humanities and sciences.

Key topics for articles

We invite scholars to submit proposals for papers that explore the historical development of peer review in the humanities, with a particular focus on the period from the nineteenth century up to the present. We welcome historical and sociological contributions that promise to offer new insights into the historical and/or recent developments of peer review in the humanities, and that help situate current evaluative practices within a broader historical context.

Proposals may explore the social, cultural, political, and epistemological aspects of the recent history of peer review in the humanities. We invite potential contributors to consider topics related to questions such as:

● How have peer review practices in the humanities historically differed from those in the natural and social sciences?

● How have peer review processes in the humanities historically been organized?

● Who were allowed to act as reviewers, and who were excluded from this role?

● How has the organization and practice of the peer review process changed within the humanities?

● What has been the impact of peer review on the production of knowledge in the humanities?

Abstracts submission deadline: 31 January 2024

Epidemics provide significant opportunities to reflect on the ways in which media, technology and society are co-constituted. As medical and social phenomena, they tend to be highly mediatized events, although the limits and local inflections of that mediatization are yet to be subjected to sustained critical attention in both historical and contemporary settings. Moreover, as the Covid-19 pandemic has reminded us, outbreaks of infectious diseases represent a veritable test for a country’s underlying socio-economic and political structures. This includes the ability to harness technologies and infrastructures of communication to overcome public health crises, by implementing population surveillance measures, communicating with broader publics, coordinating epidemic responses or devising strategies of preparedness against future outbreaks. By becoming testing grounds for various technologies of epidemic management (e.g., Lynteris 2018), epidemics also accelerate innovation, adaptation and change, while highlighting inequalities of access, legal, ethical and privacy dilemmas, questions of public trust, effective communication of science and (mis)information overload. This is particularly visible in the disproportionate impact of epidemics on groups that suffer from higher degrees of socio-economic marginalization, such as women, who represent the majority of primary caregivers, ethnic minorities and immigrants, who are often targeted as disease carriers, or persons with disabilities, who are frequently excluded from decision-making processes and have limited access to public health information.

This conference seeks to explore, from historical and contemporary, as well as trans-disciplinary and trans-regional perspectives, the role of media and communication technologies in the making and management of epidemic outbreaks since the beginning of the twentieth century. We welcome submissions from across the humanities and social sciences, pertaining to any area of the world, that engage with the following topics, but are not restricted to them:

- The role of state and non-state actors (medical and public health professionals, health advocates and activists, media and international organizations) in epidemic management.

- The relationship between international organizations and media in the context of public health crises.

- The intersections of media and marginalization in epidemic outbreaks, e.g., how socio-economic marginalization (of women, young people, ethnic minorities, immigrants, persons with disabilities) shapes access to media and communication technologies.

- Historical and contemporary strategies for the management of medical (mis)information and the role of media and communication technologies therein.

- Debates about medical professionalization, expertise and trust in a changing media landscape.

- Environmental communication during epidemic outbreaks.

- The transnational and transmedial study of epidemics, media and circuits of communication.

- The language by which diseases are articulated and understood, and the critical interchange between literature and socio-political uncertainties about disease, vaccination and invasions of the mind and body.

Call for papers : Moving beyond the center-periphery dynamics: Central and Eastern Europe from the mid-19th century to the present

 Call for papers : Moving beyond the center-periphery dynamics: Central and Eastern Europe from the mid-19th century to the present 

April 5-6, 2024 | University of Ottawa, Canada  

May 30-31, 2024 | University of Lille, France 

 

The University of Ottawa (Canada) and the University de Lille (France) invite to participate in the conference Moving beyond the center-periphery dynamic: Central and Eastern Europe from the mid-19th century to the present.  

 

This conference will be held on April 5-6, 2024, at the University of Ottawa (Canada), and on May 30-31, 2024, at Université de Lille (France). 

 

All abstracts are due by January 7, 2024. 

 

Since the 18th century, the discourse on modernization—understood as a process aiming to align social organization with the expectations and needs of societies and carrying a promise of emancipation—identifies the Western form of modernity, in its political (democracy) and economic (market capitalism) dimensions, as a model to follow. In the multicultural empires of Central and Eastern Europe, divergences in the paths and rhythms of political, economic, and social modernization engraved in collective imaginaries the idea of a structural delay of these societies compared to the rest of Europe, relegating them to the periphery—or semi-periphery—of the Western world (Ivan T. Berend). Since the works of Larry Wolf and Maria Todorova, this sort of intra-European orientalism has been deconstructed. Nevertheless, the discourse of structural delay in this part of Europe compared to the core of the western world has been influential in the Austrian, Russian, and Ottoman empires and in the countries that succeeded them, from the end of the First World War to today. This discourse justified structural reforms and enabled the rise of social groups interested in and useful for these reforms. It also fueled dissenting discourses and contributed to the production of alternative models, in a relationship of interdependence and exchange with countries situated in the core of the Western world (Claudia Kraft). 

 

This conference aims to examine the experience of Central and Eastern European countries with the modernization process from the late 18th century to the present, beyond the center-periphery dynamics. 

 

The conference will take place in two sessions, one in Ottawa (Canada) and the other in Lille (France). The organizers seek proposals that engage these questions. Proposals may focus on any time period and may draw from any discipline, including but not limited to history, political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, and law. The presentations of 15-20 minutes should fit into at least one of the following themes: 

 

1. Modernization Strategies 

It is customary to consider that faced with the challenges of following the Western model of modernization ("double revolution," Eric Hobsbawm) in the same form and at the same pace, countries of Central and Eastern Europe gradually turned towards alternative models, more rooted in the local context. These ranged from the Enlightened absolutism of 18th and 19th century to physiocratic movements, agrarianism, fascism, communism, and illiberal democracies today. Some of these alternative modernization strategies reinforced the power of the State and its authoritarian tendencies at the expense of individual and collective freedoms. Most of them challenge the Western model in terms of its effectiveness, universality, and adaptability to a different context from the one for which it was created. 

 

From this perspective, it would be possible to examine the causes of the emergence of these models, their logics and operational mechanisms, their relationships with the Western model and with other counter-models developed in other spaces located at the periphery of the Western world (Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, etc.), and the factors that facilitated or hindered their adoption. 

2. Actors and Spaces of Modernization 

 

The study of the actors involved in the process of modernization, their particular interests, and potential synergies sheds light on their capacity to define the norms of their own existence. It can be approached by examining debates about the advantages and disadvantages of adopting the Western model or even its feasibility, considering the nature of local societies. It can also be explored by studying the ways knowledge and know-how circulated within this region, between this region and the core of the Western world, or other (semi-)peripheral regions—ranging from multicultural empires in the 19th century to global illiberal regimes today, to the Eastern, Western, and Southern blocs during the Cold War era. Another possible way is to examine various arenas where these debates took place: the media, salons, scholarly circles, economic networks, Masonic lodges, corporations, or party universities. From diffusionist models to polycentric phenomena, various interconnected experiences and forms of modernity emerged, constantly influenced by the international context. 

 

Several spaces assume the roles of showcases and laboratories for modernization. In the 19th century, cities like Trieste, Sarajevo, Timisoara, or Lviv played this role for the Habsburg Empire, just as Saint Petersburg or Odessa did for the Romanovs, Thessaloniki for the Ottoman Empire, or Essen for the Hohenzollerns. Between the wars, innovative modernization projects emerged, such as the districts of Red Vienna or the worker city of Baťa in Zlín. Under socialism, these "laboratories of modernity" were embodied by new cities like Stalinvaros, Nowa Huta, Dimitrovgrad, or Stalinstadt. Simultaneously, these spaces of intensive modernization existed alongside areas experiencing chronic developmental delays. 

3. The Chronology of Modernization 

Another way to study the modernization process is by examining its chronology. It is often claimed that Central and Eastern European countries experienced a delayed modernization, lagging behind the economic and political core of the continent. This modernization accelerated from the 1860s-1870s, prompted by the confrontation with a more developed West, before slowing down between the wars due to unfavorable economic and political factors. It then experienced a new acceleration after 1945, thanks to socialist-style modernization, which itself faced a crisis in the 1970s, before witnessing a new surge since the 1980s, as these countries progressively aligned with capitalism and democracy. 

 

This overall periodization could be subject to debate when considering its rhythms of modernisation of this region, its moments of acceleration and deceleration, discrepancies concerning the adopted models, or the breaks and continuities in the long term, well before the 19th century, and taking into account the political changes, revolutions, and wars that this region has experienced, along with the contexts, scales, and models of modernization deployed. 

 

4. The Impact of Modernization Strategies 

 

What is the impact of the various modernization strategies implemented in Central and Eastern European countries on their social structures and political communities, economies and technological development, and cultural identities? How did these modernization strategies affect social hierarchies and mobility, ethnic and class divisions, relations between urban and rural areas, between the capital and provincial centers, and among regions? Last but not least, what is their legacy today?

CFP: Wissenschaft und Aktivismus - Lueneburg 09/2024

 CFP: Wissenschaft und Aktivismus - Lueneburg 09/2024

Jahrestagung der GWMT 2024 in Lüneburg

Wissenschaft und Aktivismus: Historische Perspektiven und methodologische Herausforderungen der Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichte

-----------------------------------------

Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, der Medizin und der Technik (GWMT), 21335 Lüneburg (Deutschland)

25.09.2024 - 27.09.2024

Bewerbungsschluss: 31.01.2024

Dass Wissenschaft, Medizin und Technik nicht isoliert von ihren kulturellen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Kontexten stehen, gehört zu den grundlegenden Einsichten der neueren Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichte. Die Trias von Wissenschaft, Politik und Öffentlichkeit wurde seit den 1970er Jahren insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund sozialer Bewegungen um „Aktivismus“ als weiteres Element ergänzt: Politische Praktiken, die auf gesellschaftliche Veränderung abzielten, gingen zunehmend mit der Forderung nach Anerkennung und Beteiligung neuer Akteur:innen und deren Wissensformen am hegemonialen wissenschaftlichen, medizinischen und technologischen Diskurs einher. Gleichzeitig ist gesellschaftspolitisches Engagement durch und in Wissenschaft, Medizin und Technik kein neues Phänomen, sondern quer durch die Geschichte hindurch belegt.

Die GWMT lädt dazu ein, während der Jahrestagung 2024 in Lüneburg das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft, Medizin, Technik und Aktivismus in seiner ganzen historischen Breite zu beleuchten und dabei auch das Verhältnis der Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichte zu aktivistischen Forderungen und Praktiken zu diskutieren.

Zu diesem Zweck muss zunächst eine grundsätzliche Klärung zentraler Begriffe, Diskurse und Sozialfiguren vorgenommen werden: Wer gilt im Bereich der Wissenschaften, Medizin und Technik als „Aktivist“ oder „Aktivistin“? Was ist unter „Aktivismus“ eigentlich zu verstehen, welche verschiedenen Verwendungsweisen lassen sich dabei historisch ausmachen und in welchem Verhältnis steht und stand der Begriff zu dem der Politik bzw. dem des Politischen? Wie verhält sich Aktivismus zu Formen der „Kritik“ oder des „Protests“? Wann und in welchen historischen Konstellationen taucht die Sozialfigur des:r Aktivist:in im affirmativen Sinn als Akteurskategorie auf, und unter welchen Umständen wird der Begriff in pejorativer Absicht verwendet, um das Gegenüber zu diskreditieren und ihm mangelnde Distanz und Objektivität sowie ideologische Verstrickungen vorzuwerfen? Und seit wann kann man überhaupt von „Aktivismus“ in Wissenschaft, Medizin und Technik sprechen? Lässt sich der Begriff fruchtbringend auf diverse historische, auch vormoderne Praktiken politischen Handelns anwenden, die auf gesellschaftliche Veränderung abzielen? Welche Effekte und neue Einsichten ergeben sich daraus, wenn man historische Akteur:innen der Vormoderne als „Aktivist:innen“ versteht?

Ein zentraler Aspekt im Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Aktivismus betrifft die Frage der Beteiligung neuer, häufig lange marginalisierter und/oder gänzlich aus dem wissenschaftlichen, medizinischen oder technischen Diskurs ausgeschlossener Wissensproduzent:innen, zu denen indigene Gemeinschaften und Patient:inneninitiativen ebenso gehören wie (öko)feministische Kollektive oder migrantische Gruppen, um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen. Auf der Jahrestagung sollen die historischen Bedingungen unter denen, sowie die konkreten Mittel, mit denen jene Akteursgruppen um Eingang in den wissenschaftlichen, medizinischen und technischen Diskurs kämpften, diskutiert werden. Von Interesse ist dabei auch die Frage, welche Kritik jene Akteur:innen an den Wissenschaften und ihren Erkenntnisprozessen formulierten und welche Neusortierungen epistemischer Autorität damit einher gingen.

Das Rahmenthema soll zudem Gelegenheit zur Selbstreflexion der gegenwärtigen Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichtsschreibung bieten. Welche methodischen, theoretischen und historiographischen Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten ergeben sich durch die Einbeziehung jener neuen Akteursgruppen? Diskutiert werden soll dabei nicht nur, wie sich der Umgang der Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichte mit Aktivismus und Aktivist:innen darstellt, sondern auch, wie sich unsere Disziplinen zu den seitens der environmental humanities, der gender, postcolonial oder disability studies bereits seit mehreren Jahrzehnten programmatisch formulierten Bekenntnissen zu „engagierter“ und „mission-driven“ Wissenschaft und der dazugehörigen Selbstbeschreibung von Forschenden als „scholar activists“ verhalten.

Erwünscht sind Einzelbeiträge ebenso wie Bewerbungen für ganze Sektionen. Vorträge sollen nicht länger als 20 Minuten dauern. Sektionen bestehen entweder aus vier Vorträgen oder drei Vorträgen mit Kommentar und umfassen inkl. Diskussion 120 Minuten. Um dem kontroversen Thema gerecht zu werden, sind diesmal auch Bewerbungen für „Roundtables“ – Podiumsdiskussionen von max. 5 Teilnehmenden, die schrittweise dem Publikum geöffnet werden – möglich.

Bitte reichen Sie Abstracts von etwa einer halben Seite Länge über unser Einsendeformular auf [www.gwmt.de](http://www.gwmt.de/) ein. Bei Sektionen ist neben den Abstracts der Einzelvorträge eine kurze Einführung in die Sektion einzureichen. Bei gleicher Qualität werden Sektionen, die akademische Generationen überspannen, bevorzugt. Auch Vorschläge für Vorträge und Sektionen, die sich nicht auf das Rahmenthema beziehen, können sehr gerne eingereicht werden.

Bitte reichen Sie Vorschläge bis zum 31.1.2024 über das Online-Einsendeformular auf der Webseite der GWMT ein.

Bitte beachten Sie: Dies ist eine Präsenztagung; Ausnahmen sind ausschließlich zum Zwecke der Barrierefreiheit möglich.
