The International Society for Intellectual History runs a virtual fortnightly meeting for early career scholars in the fields of History of Scholarship, History of Knowledge, and Intellectual History. It represents a great opportunity to share new work, exchange ideas, and test out arguments in a supportive and collegial environment.
Post-doctoral scholars who have not yet secured permanent positions are particularly welcome to join.
What Can Be Shared?
Scholars are encouraged to present and discuss work in progress, including:
- Presentations
- Book chapters
- Journal articles
- Book reviews
- Grant applications
- Book proposals
We also warmly invite suggestions for sessions dedicated to discussing important new scholarship, especially where it raises broader methodological or historiographical questions for the field.
