        Subject: Digital symposium on history of humanities as a field across different regions

The history of the humanities is a relatively young and rapidly
expanding field that explores how the humanistic disciplines have
evolved from their earliest formulations in antiquity to the rise of
contemporary areas such as digital humanities and environmental humanities.

After a decade of the Society for the History of the Humanities and its
journal History of Humanities, the moment has come to take stock. How
has the field developed in recent years across diverse intellectual
traditions—from Argentina to China, and from South Africa to Turkey? And
what is its current state in different regions and countries today?


On December 5, 2025, the Society for the History of the Humanities
organizes a digital symposium and round table, from 3.00 to 5.30 pm
(CET), to discuss these questions.


Speakers will include (among others):

Zehra Tonbul (Özyeğin University): History of the humanities from an
Ottoman perspective

Naomi Nkealah (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg): African
perspective

Ignacio Sánchez Prado (Washington University in St. Louis): Central
American perspective (TBC)

Adam Kola <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#> (Nicolaus Copernicus
University): Central European perspective

Irina Podgorny (U. La Plata): South American perspective

Kamelia Spassova (Sofia University): East European perspective

Fenrong Liu <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#> (Tsinghua University):
Chinese perspective.

        Subject: Program workshop History of Digital History between East and West online

Dear colleagues,

The program for our workshop History of Digital History between East and West is
now available online here: 
<https://www.uni.lu/c2dh-en/events/history-of-digital-history-between-east-and-west/>.

The workshop will be held on 5-6 february 2026 at the Luxembourg Centre for
Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) - University of Luxembourg and remote
participation is possible. More information about registration can be found in
the link.

The workshop aims to address gaps in the histories of digital history by
examining developments in regions often overlooked, such as the Nordic
countries, the Soviet Union, and the Eastern Bloc, especially (but not
exclusively) in a Cold War context. We will explore how the local and the
transnational intersected in the technology-inflected reshaping of historical
research practices and how political backgrounds, contexts and constraints fed
into this process.

The workshop is jointly organised by Gerben Zaagsma (University of Luxembourg),
Marek Tamm (Tallinn University), Julianne Nyhan (Technische Universität
Darmstadt and University College London), Petri Paju (University of Turku), Sune
Bechmann Pedersen (Stockholm University) and Nadezhda Povroznik (Technische
Universität Darmstadt).

With best regards,
Gerben Zaagsma
