Hej!
Här kommer en inbjudan att bidra med texter i HLFÅ, Historielärarnas förenings årsskrift.
Nytt från och med 2025 är:
* att en del av texterna genomgår ett peer-review-förfarande (om författaren så önskar).
* att HLF:s publikationer från och med nästa år publiceras digitalt via EBSCO (och når på så sätt universitetsbiblioteken).
För texter avsedda att publiceras i 2026 års utgåva vill vi redaktörer ha ett abstract senast den 15/9 2025 till: emma.severinsson(a)kultur.lu.se<mailto:emma.severinsson@kultur.lu.se>
Välkommen att delta som skribent!
Med vänliga hälsningar
Julia Håkansson och Emma Severinsson
Call for papers: Perspectives on Workers’ Education, ELHN 2026
Call for papers for the working group Workers’ Education, European Labour History Network’s Conference, June 16-19, 2026, Barcelona
Deadline for abstracts: 1 August 2025
Early on, workers' education was organised by and for the working class and served multiple purposes. Workers’ education aimed to compensate for the limited formal education available to many workers. In such contexts, workers’ education was a bridge to higher education and a pathway to upward social mobility. Workers’ education also became a means for the cultural empowerment of the working class. Importantly, workers’ education also constituted the institutional foundation for the political education of the working class. These programs ensured members had the skills to manage organisations, represent labour parties in parliamentary institutions, and engage meaningfully with ideological debates. While the structure and goals of such educational initiatives have varied between countries, many formats have been used, including labour colleges, folk high schools, study circles, lectures, and correspondence courses.
Because workers’ education has diverse aims, the educational sphere within the labour movement has often been marked by conflict. Different branches of the movement have competed for control over workers’ education institutions, bourgeois forces have attempted to curtail or co-opt these efforts, and funding has frequently been a source of contention.
In these sessions, we aim to explore educational practices, teaching methods, and the cultural and political significance of workers' education. We welcome contributions from various disciplines, including case studies and comparative analyses. Papers may examine workers’ education in different national contexts.
We particularly welcome papers that address:
* Conflicts surrounding workers’ education, such as tensions between factions within the labour movement or between labour organisations and the state
* The funding and financial organisation of workers’ education
* Influential individuals who played a key role in advancing workers’ education
We especially encourage contributions that approach workers’ education from a gender perspective.

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.
