NLHN online Workshop: Who is who in Nordic labour movements? Towards a biographical encyclopaedia of labour activists 28 November 14.00
(zoom link below)
Many people interested in a movement or an organisation often encounter lesser-known names in the sources. It can be difficult to get an overview of the importance of individuals for an organisation's daily work or how organisations are connected through personal networks. One way to find information about individuals is to search in biographical encyclopaedias. During periods, labour movements in the Nordic countries have published bibliographic encyclopaedias, but they are far from complete. Women are often underrepresented and often cover a shorter period of history. We have invited specialists in historical biographies to discuss how a historical encyclopaedia for the Nordic labour movement could be designed based on experiences from similar projects.

Tisdagen den 28 november kl. 13.15-15 hålls en öppen föreläsning och diskussion på temat historieförfalskning, historieförvanskning och forskarens roll.
Inbjuden föreläsare är Ida Östenberg, professor i Antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet. Rubriken för föreläsningen är "Män som förklarar romarriket för mig". Östenberg har gjort sig känd som en orädd fiende till historieförfalskning på sociala medier. Hon kommer att tala om bakgrunden till vårens twitterdebatt (se skärmdump nedan) - och om universitetens ansvar i en digital offentlighet.
Föreläsningen arrangeras inom ramen för Seminariet om historieförfalskning, historieförvanskning och forskarens roll som anordnas av forskningsmiljöerna REMESO och Historiska studier vid LiU, och leds av Ola Larsmo, Gästprofessor vid LiU i Moa Martinsons namn.
TID: Tisdag den 28 november kl. 13.15-15
PLATS: Lokal Comenius, Keyhuset, Campus Valla, Linköping

Kära kollegor,
planen är att nästa Världshistorikerkongress ska gå av stapeln i Jerusalem i juli 2026. Det känns i flera avseenden avlägset och situationen i området är kaotisk men här kommer ändå en uppmaning om att lämna in förslag på teman, sessioner och rundabordssamtal.
Förslagen ska skickas in via en av medlemsorganisationerna i International Committee of the Historical Sciences (ICSH/CISH), det vill säga för svensk del i första hand Svenska Historiska Föreningen. För att förslagen ska hinna behandlas av föreningens styrelse måste dessa vara undertecknad tillhanda senast torsdagen 15 december. Tiden är alltså knapp, endast en dryg månad.
Om ni är intresserade av att föreslå en panel eller session eller har frågor, kontakta gärna Stefan Amirell, som är Sveriges delegat till ICSH, så snart som möjligt för att diskutera förslaget och möjligheter till samordning.
Utöver möjligheten att skicka in förslag via Svenska Historiska Föreningen finns också möjligheten att man går via någon av ICSH:s andra medlemsorganisationer (affiliated international organizations, internal committees; se vidare http://www.cish.org/index.php/en/ under fliken ”Members”).
Nedan följer information om format för förslagen och den vidare processen från ICSH:s sekretariat.
Med vänliga hälsningar

Dear Colleagues,
A year has passed since the closure of the 23rd Congress in Poznan. It is now up to us to prepare for the 24th ICHS Congress in Jerusalem, July 26-31, 2026.
Only ICHS members (national committees, affiliated international organizations, internal commissions) are invited to send the ICHS secretariat their proposals for themes to structure the Congress program.
The format for presentations remains unchanged, in accordance with the resolutions of the General Assemblies:
- 1. major themes: sessions last a full day, and the number of presenters must not exceed twelve.
- 2 Joint sessions: these must be proposed by at least two ICHS member organizations. They take place over three hours and must not bring together more than six speakers.
- 3. Specialized themes: these half day sessions involve six to eight speakers.
- 4. Round tables: the round table consists of a panel discussion of a substantial text, raising a major issue and drafted by the person in charge of the session. The maximum number of participants is four, excluding the organizer(s). Sessions last half day.
Proposals must therefore clearly specify whether they concern a major theme or one of the other types of session.
The themes proposed must be varied and innovative. If possible, they should put several regions of the world into perspective, and for the major themes in particular, they should cover all chronological periods. Care should be taken to balance genders and generations in the choice of speakers.
Organizers are asked to write a short presentation on the theme of the session (5,000 characters in Word format). They should fill in the form below with their contact details. Please note that the working languages are English, French and Spanish only. Organizers can already indicate the names and qualifications of the speakers.
Each member of the ICHS, through its representative, must return all proposals to the general secretariat cish.secretary.general(a)gmail.com<mailto:cish.secretary.general@gmail.com> before February 28, 2024.
The proposals selected by the committee will be posted on our website:www.cish.org<http://www.cish.org> and all ICHS members will have a short period in which to send their reactions.
Considering these reactions, the board responsible for preparing the Congress program will draw up a synthesis of the proposals. This synthesis will be submitted to the General Assembly (Tokyo, October 25-27, 2024) for discussion and vote. The major themes will be chosen separately by the General Assembly from the list of proposals.
We remind you that the board is authorized to propose panel pairings directly to the organizers in the event of similar themes. It is the responsibility of ICHS members to keep the organizers informed of developments in the procedure. The organizers will inform those whose proposals have been rejected. Please refer to the program for the 23rd Poznan Congress.
Once the General Meeting has voted, the selected organizers will be responsible for setting up their session and recruiting their speakers. Details will be sent out by the ICHS Board at the end of 2024. The board may issue a second call for contributions to solicit new themes or complete certain sessions.
Warmest regards,
Edoardo Tortarolo

Chères Collègues, Chers Collègues,
Une année s'est écoulée depuis la clôture du XXIIIème congrès de Poznan. Il nous appartient maintenant de préparer le XXIVème congrès du CISH prévu à Jérusalem du 26 au 31 juillet 2026.
Seuls les membres du CISH (comités nationaux, organisations internationales affiliées, commissions internes) sont invités à faire parvenir au secrétariat du CISH leurs propositions de thèmes destinés à structurer le programme du Congrès.
Le format des interventions reste inchangé, conformément aux résolutions des Assemblées générales :
- 1. Thèmes majeurs: les séances durent toute une journée et le nombre de communicants ne doit pas dépasser douze personnes.
- 2. Sessions conjointes: elles doivent être proposées par au moins deux organismes membres du CISH. Elles se déroulent sur trois heures et ne doivent pas rassembler plus de six intervenants.
- 3. Thèmes spécialisés: ils réunissent entre six et huit intervenants et durent une demi-journée.
- 4. Tables rondes: la table-ronde consiste en une discussion en séance d’un texte substantiel, soulevant une problématique majeure et rédigé par le responsable de la séance. Le nombre des participants ne doit pas dépasser quatre, organisateur (s) non compris. Les séances durent une demi-journée.
Les propositions doivent donc bien spécifier si elles concernent un thème majeur ou un des autres types de séances.
Il est important que les thématiques proposées soient suffisamment variées et novatrices. Qu’elles mettent, si possible, plusieurs régions du monde en perspective, et que, pour les thèmes majeurs en particulier, elles englobent l’ensemble des périodes chronologiques. Il est demandé de prendre garde à l'équilibre des genres et des générations dans le choix des intervenants pressentis.
Les organisateurs doivent rédiger un texte sous forme d’une courte présentation du thème de la séance (5 000 signes sous format Word). Ils remplissent à cet effet le formulaire ci-après avec leurs coordonnées. Il est rappelé que les langues de travail sont exclusivement l’anglais, le français et l’espagnol. Les organisateurs peuvent d'ores et déjà indiquer le nom et la qualité des intervenants envisagés.
Chaque membre du CISH, par l’intermédiaire de ses responsables, doit retourner l’ensemble des propositions au secrétariat généralcish.secretary.general(a)gmail.com<mailto:cish.secretary.general@gmail.com> avant le 28 février 2024.
Les propositions retenues par le comité seront affichées sur notre site internet :www.cish.org<http://www.cish.org> et tous les membres du CISH disposeront d’une courte période pour faire parvenir leurs réactions.
Tenant compte de ces réactions, le bureau chargé de la préparation du programme du Congrès établira la synthèse des propositions. Cette synthèse sera proposée à la discussion et au vote de l’Assemblée générale (Tokyo, 25-27 octobre 2024). Les thèmes majeurs seront, eux, choisis séparément par l'Assemblée générale sur la liste des propositions.
Nous rappelons que le bureau est autorisé à proposer directement auprès des organisateurs des jumelages de panels en cas de thèmes proches. Il appartient aux membres du CISH de tenir informés les organisateurs de l’évolution de la procédure. Ces derniers ont l’obligation de prévenir les personnes dont la proposition a été refusée. À toutes fins utiles, il est conseillé de se reporter au programme du XXIIIe congrès de Poznan.
Après le vote de l’Assemblée générale, les organisateurs retenus auront la responsabilité de former leur séance et de recruter leurs intervenants. Des modalités seront envoyées par le bureau du CISH à la fin de l’année 2024. Le board lancera éventuellement un second appel à contributions afin de solliciter de nouveaux thèmes ou de compléter certaines sessions.
En vous souhaitant une bonne réception et en vous remerciant de votre concours, je vous prie de croire à l’assurance de notre considération collégiale et dévouée,
Edoardo Tortarolo
Secrétaire Générale du CISH

Dear all.
I would like to draw your attention to Wednesday's seminar in the series Instructing Colonial Natural History at Uppsala University by Caroline Cornish: 'A few plain instructions": William Hooker and 'A Manual of Scientific Enquiry' (1849)'. Sorry for any cross postings!
Date: October 25.
Time: 15.00-16.00 CET
Location: Zoom.

Abstract:
Britain in the 1840s and ‘50s witnessed the publication of a proliferation of instruction manuals on field collecting, targeted at those travelling in a range of capacities. Collecting institutions and government departments adopted this medium to direct the traveller in a manner that would best serve them in the acquisition of their respective desiderata, be that specimens, artefacts, or observations and recordings of natural phenomena. It was in this context that the British Admiralty published A Manual of Scientific Enquiry: Prepared for the Use of Officers in Her Majesty’s Navy; and Travellers in General in 1849. Edited by astronomer and polymath John Herschel, the Manual contained chapters on what were considered the major sciences of the day, each written by a leading authority in their field. The chapter on botany was written by William Jackson Hooker, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which had not long previously passed from royal to state ownership. This paper will examine Hooker’s chapter in detail, teasing out the significance of his stipulations for herbarium and museum specimens. It will consider these within two overlapping contexts: the Baconian empiricist thought which strongly influenced scientific practice in the first half of the 19th century; and the emergent institutionalisation of science in colonial metropoles. In doing so it will address the question: what were the affordances and limitations of instructions written by metropolitan scientists in the mid-19th century?

NLHN Roundtable: Past, Present and Future of the Nordic Labour History Journals
Since the 1970s, labour history has been very successful in the Nordic countries. Like the development in other European countries, labour history journals were started in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The content mirrors the current development and the ambitions of labour history. But what do readers want to know, what should writers know when they submit their manuscripts, and what are the editors’ ideas?
Welcome to a round table open for dialogue between readers, writers and editors of the Nordic labour history journals. Tuesday, October 24, 14:00-15:30 (CET).
Participants:
Bent Gravesen (Arbejderhistorie)
