Towards New Horizons of Scholarly Publishing: National Meeting – 5-6 February 2026

Date: 5 February 2026 | Agenda/Calls
The academic publishing system has arrived at an impasse.

This is possible only because in academic publishing the bulk of the work is shouldered by researchers for free, so the costs...

Workshop: Histories of taxation, (in)equality, and redistribution

Date: 13 February 2026 | Agenda/Calls
One might wonder why taxation is not one of the hottest topics among historians, as it is one of the most central pieces of government politics. Without taxation there would be no redistribution, no government spending, no education, no infrastructure nor healthcare – thus: no striving for equality. The history of taxation perfectly explains the...
