The next ISHD conference will take place at the Rhode Island College (Providence, USA) on 10-12 October 2024.
The theme is: History and Its Discontents: Theory and Practice, Stories from the Classroom
The conference is organized by the ISHD and prof. Karl Benziger at the Rhode Island College.
Call for Papers
This conference will be organized around three principal themes:
1.) History Education on Trial…Again? “Consensus, Controversy and Unresolved Questions” offers a chance to investigate the history of history didactics and the debates about the goals and curricula of history education in the past and present. How have these conversations and debates among history teachers and their guild organizations played out over time on the political stage and in the classroom?
2.) Across the Great Divide focuses on how History Didactics and Education can be utilized to promote a more inclusive curriculum and pedagogy. How do we engage students in the classroom and maintain the allegiance of the community at large?
3.) Academic Freedom and History Education provides the opportunity to examine the challenges facing history teachers and their ability to foster independent historical thinking critical to the promotion of democratic history education and the promotion of civil society both within and outside the classroom.
The ISHD welcome papers that address one of the broad themes and some of these fundamental questions or related ones in the context of historical methodology, classroom practice, curriculum, assessment, reflection, and theory.
Abstract proposals not exceeding 1500 characters (including spaces) should be sent to Professor Karl Benziger (Kbenziger@ric.edu) by 16 February 2024.
