Network Activities

As mentioned in the Annual Report, NW17 has now formally initiated an exchange scheme with the U.K. History of Education Society (HES), aimed at encouraging mutual exchange and expansion in a more official manner. This year, Dr. Maria Lucenti was accepted as a candidate encouraged to act as a bridge between both entities (NW17 and HES) involved. As mentioned also, one of NW17’s convenors has been elected into the board of the International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE), with which the network hopes to establish new, stronger ties following the election of a new president of this organisation.

NW17 does not have any formal links to existing journals, yet several of its convenors have ties to history of education journals in their capacity as editorial board members and/or (section) editors. As mentioned in the Annual Report, the network also continues its work on a book project for the EERA-supported transdisciplinary-oriented Springer book series, as well as a related collaborative cross-network EERA Network funding bid, hoping to attract edgy, temporally informed cross-disciplinary scholarship from across a variety of areas and contexts, especially also from traditionally less represented regions and the entire career spectrum. NW17 welcomes any potential contributions considered for these endeavours from other EERA networks.
