The International Society for Intellectual 
History<http://isih.history.ox.ac.uk> (ISIH) invites proposals for papers and 
panels. The first and principal form of contributions will be brief papers (20 
mins, followed by 10 mins of discussion) relating to the theme of revolutions 
and evolutions in intellectual history at large. Papers can concentrate on any 
period, region, tradition or discipline, including the arts, humanities and 
sciences, 1450 to present. As well as individual papers, we welcome proposals 
for panels of up to three papers and a commentator. The range of subjects of 
investigation is extremely broad, and may include, but is not limited to:

• specific revolutions in history, such as the Printing, Copernican, 
Scientific, Information, Industrial, Darwinian, French, Sexual, etc.;
• ‘evolutions’, or gradual processes in history, such as modernisation, 
secularisation, reformation, and enlightenment, etc.;
• neglected revolutions and evolutions in intellectual history;
• the legitimacy of revolutions as historiographical categories to understand 
the past;
• the relationship between the intellectual, cultural, social and material in 
historical revolutions and evolutions;
• the issue of change and continuity in intellectual history over the longue 
durée;
• the relationship between human and natural scales of time;
• the relationship between truth and meaning in narratives of intellectual 
history.

Within the general remit of the conference there will also be a workshop, 
Imagining the Darwinian Revolution: The Place of History in 
Science<http://isih.history.ox.ac.uk/?page_id=5878>, which will be open to all 
conference attendees. Those wishing to have a paper considered for inclusion in 
this workshop, however, are asked to acknowledge this in their submission. 
Please note that there are a limited number of places available, and that 
papers not accepted for the workshop will be considered for the wider 
conference.

Proposals for individual papers and panels are due by 1 December 2018 and must 
be submitted via the Conference Submission 
Form<http://isih.history.ox.ac.uk/?page_id=4718>.

Humanities<https://iash.uq.edu.au>, University of Queensland.
