Program for the The Making of the Humanities XII in Torun has been published!


On 7–9 October, scholars from across the world will gather in Toruń, Poland, for The Making of the Humanities XII, the twelfth international conference on the history of the humanities. 

This year’s theme could hardly be more fitting for the birthplace of Copernicus: The Structure of Humanistic Revolutions

Do the humanities have revolutions? Are there equivalents of scientific paradigm shifts, or does change in the humanities happen in fundamentally different ways? 

Over three days, we will explore transformations across a range of fields and periods: from early modern humanism to AI, from linguistics and archaeology to art history, from decolonisation and Indigenous knowledge to aDNA, digital infrastructures, museums, epistemic transfer, and the changing boundaries between the humanities and the sciences. 

If you are interested in how the humanities came to be what they are -- and how they may be changing again today -- come and join us in Toruń!
