CFP: Expertise in Medicine and the Human Sciences during the 20th Century in Europe and Beyond

Deadline: December 15, 2023

Prague 16-18 May 2024

Expertise shapes modern societies, and the issues of health and normalcy form their core. That is why analyzing the disciplines of medicine and the human sciences – such as psychology, sociology, demography, and pedagogy – is helpful in understanding how modern societies function and change. There has been increasing interest in socialist expertise in recent years, and our research project, ExpertTurn, is part of that growing scholarly community. We focus on the human science expertise in East-Central Europe from comparative and transnational perspectives. We want to broaden our scope spatially and temporally during our conference. Thus, we call for papers analyzing human science expertise that circulated in Europe, whether it originated there or elsewhere, during the short 20th century (approximately from the interwar period to post-socialism, the 1920s-1990s). We encourage papers seeking connections across the borders of disciplines, countries, and time periods.
