Call for Papers

Beyond Eurocentrism in Intellectual History

Colloquium, 3-5 September 2020

UCL Institute of Advanced Studies, London


This colloquium is designed to discuss ideas and methods from intellectual histories outside of a European context, especially how they might stimulate new approaches in the discipline of intellectual history as constituted in the Western academy. We plan to bring together scholars working in and on different regions to start a conversation about how intellectual history is researched, taught and configured in different places, bringing into stark relief the politics of knowledge of the field. We hope that all intellectual historians, whatever their specific area of research, will be interested in joining us to rethink the endeavor of intellectual history in a global context.
