Journal for the History of Knowledge

Gewina, Belgisch-Nederlands genootschap voor wetenschaps- en universiteitsgeschiedenis, heeft een nieuw Engelstalig tijdschrift gelanceerd voor de geschiedenis van wetenschap, The Journal for the History of Knowledge. Het is een open acces tijdschrift, dat voor iedereen te raadplegen is. Het eerste nummer staat nu online en is in te lezen op https://journalhistoryknowledge.org

About this Journal: The Journal for the History of Knowledge is an open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the history of knowledge in its broadest sense. This includes the study of science, but also of indigenous, artisanal, and other types of knowledge as well as the history of knowledge developed in the humanities and social sciences. Special attention is paid to interactions and processes of demarcation between science and other forms of knowledge. Contributions may deal with the history of concepts of knowledge, the study of knowledge making practices and institutions and sites of knowledge production, adjudication, and legitimation (including universities). Contributions which highlight the relevance of the history of knowledge to current policy concerns (for example, by historicizing and problematizing concepts such as the “knowledge society”) are particularly welcome.
