CfP – History of Education Society 2025 Annual Meeting

The 2025 Program Committee for the History of Education Society (US) invites proposals for its annual conference, which will be held in Providence, Rhode Island. The 2025 conference theme is Freedom to Teach; Freedom to Learn. Thematically complete sessions, individual papers, panel discussions, and workshop session submissions are welcome. Complete sessions organized around a coherent theme are especially encouraged.

Date: 6 – 9 November 2025
Location: Providence, Rhode Island, United States

This year’s conference theme —Freedom to Teach; Freedom to Learn— encompasses enduring questions about educational inclusion and struggles for equality. Conflicts over the freedom to teach have occurred in k–12 and higher education institutions and beyond. They have often centered on educators’ production and dissemination of knowledge and values within particular civic contexts. Conflicts over the freedom to learn have frequently involved struggles to access educational opportunities in the face of societal obstacles. They have also entailed battles to define the purposes of educational institutions and practices. Beyond this year’s conference theme, we invite all broadly conceived proposals related to the history of education. We welcome international representation at our meeting and encourage submissions showcasing perspectives from regions beyond the United States.

Participants are encouraged to create thematically coherent sessions and panel discussions by connecting with potential collaborators through the History of Education Society’s various Affinity Groups including: biography & life writing; carceral state; global/transnational/imperial; higher education; intellectual history; policy & reform; political education & social movements; popular culture; race; religion; sex & gender; teachers, teaching, & curriculum; teaching & research in history of education; West Coast U.S.; and 18th & 19th century.

Submission deadline: 17 March 2025
