Dear friends and members of the ESHHS,

we are happy to raise your attention towards a Call for Papers announced by the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences devoted to public history. The link to the full call can be found here. An excerpt from the call:

“Inspired by the crucial role of public history in the formation of collective memory, identity, and critical social consciousness, this special issue will feature articles that describe and analyze public history projects that draw on topics and themes from the history of social science to educate, inform, and create community engagement around social issues.”

Please circulate widely to your networks and any potential authors.

Dear friends and members of the ESHHS,
Our next conference will be hosted by the Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary, and organized in collaboration with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences from July 4 to July 6, 2019. We now invite submissions for oral presentations, posters, sessions, workshops or round-table discussions. Please see all detailed information in our Call for Abstracts.

The JHBS journal announced a special call for papers concerning the histories of emotion which might be interesting to many members of the ESHHS. The CfP reads:

Organized by the Forum for History of Human Science in honor of historian John C. Burnham (1929-2017), this special issue will bring together historical studies that analyze how the social and behavioral sciences have attended to the meanings and conditions of living well and human flourishing. We are interested in accounts that consider what these sciences, as well as popular works that draw on them, have said about living well, in its spiritual, psychological, cultural, social, economic, and/or political dimensions.

Further information can be found here.
