Asynchronous Histories Summer School: First Edition: Conceptual Change

Social and Labour History News

3 months 2 weeks ago

22–26 September 2025, Warsaw

The Asynchronous Histories Summer School aims to explore regions and moments in history marked by the coexistence of asynchronous sociopolitical tendencies and processes. These conditions often reveal paradoxical outcomes when seemingly well-established actors and mechanisms are put into practice. The absence—or inefficiency—of “The Great Synchronizer,” whether imperial order, centralized state apparatus, or the power of capital, has, in various periods and regions, created fertile grounds for blending the old and the new in unequal and unexpected ways.

Rather than viewing this coexistence of asynchronicities as a static phenomenon, we understand it as a dynamic and intricate process. In such situations, old forms may act as tools paving the way for new developments, while new forms may consolidate old arrangements, laws, and privileges. This interplay also triggers epistemological challenges, as research tools developed in global centres often fail to yield productive results when applied to these complex settings. This is why it is both challenging and indispensable to abandon normative definitions of phenomena and states of affairs in favour of listening to local actors, whose diversity ultimately calls into question apparently universal models and descriptions of reality—models that, in practice, are deeply rooted in Western centres.

In the first edition of the Asynchronous Histories Summer School, we seek to stimulate reflection on the theme of conceptual change, broadly understood. Our goal is to examine how concepts, ideas, and ideologies evolve amidst the coexistence of asynchronicities. We aim to move beyond binary perspectives, such as portraying given actors as never-fully-Western imitators or as guardians of domestic traditions. Instead, we propose thinking outside such frameworks, exploring the diverse intellectual stakes pursued by actors in the world’s “grey zones.”

Exemplary areas of inquiry include:

Western ideologies in non-Western settings.
Domestic political terminologies and procedures.
Christian ideas in non-Christian worlds.
Non-institutionalized areas of intellectual debate.
Transfers as resistance; transfers as domination.
Unrealized potentials, repressed imaginaries, and projects halted midway.
Local academic traditions in the history of ideas or philosophy.

CfP: Working Group Workers' Education, ELHN Conference 2026: Perspectives on Workers’ Education

Social and Labour History News

3 months 2 weeks ago

Call for papers for the working group Workers’ Education, European Labour History Network’s Conference, June 16-19, 2026, Barcelona

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.
