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.
https://hisress.org/cfp
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).
All proposals and requests for information should be sent to submissions(a)hisress.org<https://mailto:submissions@hisress.org/>.

Welcome to take part in the 11th Stockholm Archipelag Lecture:
The Less Selfish Gene: Forest Altruism, Neoliberalism, and the Tree of Life
with Rob Nixon
Time: Thu, Nov 10, 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM, CET
Location: On zoom: https://kth-se.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5IsceytpjIuE9YU6W7DCSPNCcIq2zam9Dhd
Why have millions of readers and viewers become magnetized by the hitherto arcane field of plant communication? Since the great recession of 2008, we have witnessed an upsurge in public science writing that has popularized research into forest sentience, forest suffering and the forest as collective intelligence. This talk roots the current appeal of forest communication in a widespread discontent with neoliberalism’s antipathy to cooperative ways of being. Nixon argues that the science of forest dynamics offers a counter-narrative of flourishing, an allegory for what George Monbiot has called “private sufficiency and public wealth.
Rob Nixon is the Barron Family Professor in Environment and Humanities at Princeton University. His books include, most recently, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor. Nixon is currently completing a book entitled Blood at the Root. Environmental Martyrs and the Defense of Life. Nixon writes frequently for the New York Times. His writing has also appeared in The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, The Guardian, The Nation, London Review of Books, The Village Voice, Aeon, Orion, Critical Inquiry and elsewhere. Environmental justice struggles in the global South are central to Nixon’s work. He is a particularly fascinated by the animating role that artists can play in relation to social movements.
The lecture consists of a key note talk followed by a Q&A session, where the zoom audience will get a chance to ask questions to Rob Nixon.
Welcome!

Hej,
Här kommer en påminnelse om cfp till konferensen Early Modern Women on Politics and Ethics i Göteborg nästa höst, 5–7 oktober 2023. Mycket välkomna att skicka in förslag på föredrag och sprid gärna vårt cfp i era nätverk. Sista dag för abstracts är 1 februari 2023.
Vänlig hälsningar,

Call for papers
In Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, Aristotle conceived ethics and politics to be both interrelated and exclusively male endeavors. This notion continued to be influential in the early modern period (c.1500–1800). Yet in recent decades, feminist scholarship has showed that throughout the early modern world numerous women nonetheless discussed, developed, and chal- lenged politics and ethics in profound and often surprising ways.
The conference Early Modern Women on Politics and Ethics is organized by the Early Modern Seminar and the research network Philosophy in Other Words, at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. It is dedicated to early modern women’s engagement with politics and ethics as philosophers, authors, critics, translators, editors, artists, patrons, salonnières, pamphleteers, political agents, letter writers, etcetera.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the conference will bring together scholars working in various scientific fields. We especially wel- come contributions that concern underexplored geographical contexts, languages, and traditions.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to
* Marginalized voices in politics and ethics
* Genres of political and ethical writing
* Representations of political and moral authority
* Subversive political and ethical thought
* Global perspectives on politics and ethics
* Public and private agency
* Material aspects of politics and ethics
* Reception and circulation of political and ethical thought • Ethics and politics of sexuality
* Politics and ethics in religious contexts
Confirmed keynote speakers
* Unn Falkeid, University of Oslo
* Carin Franzén, Stockholm University
* Dena Goodman, University of Michigan
* Marie-Frédérique Pellegrin, Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University
* Melissa E. Sanchez, University of Pennsylvania
To submit, please send a 300-word proposal for a 20-minute paper and a brief biographical note to earlymodern(a)lir.gu.se by February 1, 2023. Notice of acceptance will be given by March 1, 2023.
Organizing committee: Maria Johansen, Cecilia Rosengren, Matilda Amundsen Bergström, Alexandra Herlitz, Philip Lavender.
