Interdisciplinary Conceptual History Forum

The forum provides an opportunity for researchers working in the field to share ideas and findings surrounding current conceptual history research. At our meetings participants present sample studies that deal with conceptual history and historical semantics with attention given as well to their treatment of theoretical issues. We are especially interested in discussing research that is innovative and transdisciplinary both in terms of methodology and objects of study. We welcome suggestions that focus on the historical aspects of scientific concepts and the interplay between categorical and practical processes.

The e-journal Interdisciplinary Conceptual History Forum (»Forum Interdisziplinäre Begriffsgeschichte«, FIB) appears twice a year and includes in-depth articles, miscellanea, and debates on theory, the history of theory, and the scholarly practices of interdisciplinary conceptual history.
