🎤 Call for Keynotes – 2nd National Conference on the History of Education

📅 28–30 January 2026 | 📍 Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL), Bergen

Would you like to give a keynote at a conference that highlights new perspectives in the history of education?

We now invite proposals (max. 1,000 words) for one of three keynote lectures related to the following themes:

🔹 The historiography of the history of education as a starting point for perspectives on the present and the future
🔹 Historiography in motion – new perspectives, future directions
🔹 An open keynote with a particular focus on early childhood (at least as an analytical lens)

Keynote lectures should be 45 minutes in length and delivered in a Scandinavian language or in English. It is also possible to combine oral delivery in a Scandinavian language with English PowerPoint slides.

📌 Submission deadline: 31 October 2025
📝 Proposals should include the topic, theoretical perspectives, and a justification of why the theme is important.
