  Risk and History: How to assess international historical research activities?

  XXII Congress of international committee of historical sciences – RT 6

  The concept of “risk”—especially as developed by sociologists Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens and Robert Castel, anthropologist Mary Douglas, andpolitical philosopher François Ewald—has been at the heart of numerous scholarly debates for more than two decades. Recently, the concept has attracted the attention of a growing number of individual historians from around the world, although this phenomenon has received little attention from the international historical community. This call for applications therefore aims to recruit researchers whose areas of specialization cover the various uses of risk in history, and who will be responsible for discussing a written assessment of the relevant international historical research and the outlook for related scholarly debates.
