Call for papers: Le marché du travail intellectuel

The conference Le marché du travail intellectuel : émergence, structuration, régulation (XVIIIe-XXe siècle). Perspectives franco-allemandes et internationals will examine the emergence, structuration and regulation of intellectual life in France and Germany, and more broadly in Europe and internationally, between the mid-eighteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. The history of intellectuals as members of a specific social group, a university and a professional community is a diverse and rich field of historical research. This scientific congress aims to further develop this field by bringing together historians and researchers from other human and social sciences. This congress will take place at the Université de Lorraine (Metz), from 15 to 17 January 2026. Proposals and CVs should be sent to coll.mti.iam@gmail.com until 4 May 2025.

Call for Proposals
The Journal for the History of Knowledge features an annual special issue, compiled by guest editors, which explores a theme central to the journal’s scope. The call for the 2027 edition is currently open. The deadline is 1 May 2025. Find out more about the requirements for proposals on the website of the journal.
