Issue 7.2 of History of Humanities has just been published.
It contains a marvelous Forum section on Exactitude in the Humanities with an open access Introduction. As well as 5 regular articles (one of which is open access) and even more book reviews!

NB: there is a very late correction to the conference program. As we just learned, Winter Time started last weekend in Europe but only starts this weekend on the US East Coast, so the time difference between Pittsburgh and continental Europe is now 5 hours rather than 6. Which means we have to move the program one hour on one side of the Atlantic. After a quick deliberation we decided to make sessions start one hour later in EST (Pittsburgh) time. If you are in Europe, scheduled hours remain the same. All times given below are correct.
We are delighted to announce that the FULL PROGRAM with the book of abstracts of The Making of the Humanities X conference is available and can be downloaded here. Note that the conference will be held online from November 3-5, during the afternoons in Europe and during the mornings in the US (see below).
Information for presenters and chairs: each regular talk is allotted 30 minutes consisting of 20 minutes presentation and 10 minutes discussion. Panels may be divided up differently, to be decided by the chair. Please make sure that you are online (via zoom) at least 5 minutes before the start of your session. See also our program booklet for further information.

After several requests and due consideration, we have decided to turn the 10th Making of the Humanities conference into an online meeting, from 3 till 5 November 2022.
The submission deadline has been extended to 1 July 2022.
The MoH conferences are organized by the Society for the History of the Humanities and bring together scholars and historians interested in the history of a wide variety of fields, including archaeology, art history, historiography, linguistics, literary studies, media studies, musicology, and philology, tracing these fields from their earliest developments to the modern day.
We welcome panels and papers on any period or region. We are especially interested in work that transcends the history of specific humanities disciplines by comparing scholarly practices across disciplines and civilisations.
Please note that the Making of the Humanities conferences are not concerned with the history of art, the history of music or the history of literature, and so on, but instead with the history of art history, the history of musicology, the history of literary studies/philology, etc.
