The 10th conference on the history of the humanities, The Making of the Humanities X, will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 3-5, 2022. We are delighted that Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) together with the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) will organize the conference.
The deadline for papers and panels is May 15, 2022.
I just learned that my book World of Patterns will be translated into Chinese (The Beijing Science and Technology Publishing Company), Polish (PWN) and Turkish (Monografi). The contracts have just been signed. And there will be more translations to come.
The official publication data of World of Patterns will be May 10, so stay tuned!
An interesting review appeared in "Scienza e Fede" by Giulia Andronico of the Italian version of "A New History of the Humanities". According to the reviewer:
"La storia globale delle scienze umanistiche è per la prima volta raccolta e raccontata da Rens Bod nel suo bel volume ricco di spiegazioni e spunti interessanti, che già nel titolo “Le scienze dimenticate. Come le discipline umanistiche hanno cambiato il mondo” stimola la curiosità di chi si appresta alla sua lettura."
Or in English:
"The global history of the humanities is for the first time collected and told by Rens Bod in his beautiful volume full of explanations and interesting insights, which already in its title "The Forgotten Sciences. How the humanities changed the world" stimulates the curiosity of those who are about to read it."
