We are delighted to announce the upcoming History of Education Summer School, which will take place in Leuven in September 15-19, 2025.

This event is jointly organized by Professor Johannes Westberg (University of Groningen) and Professor Pieter Verstraete (University of Leuven).

After several successful editions hosted by the University of Groningen, the Summer School will be held in Leuven for the next three years!

This five-day Summer School is designed for PhD candidates, master’s thesis students, and early-career researchers. The 2025 edition will focus on the theme: “Voices and Silences in Historical Studies on Education.”

The program includes keynote lectures, hands-on seminars, and discussion groups that critically engage with primary and secondary sources, historiographical trends, and theoretical perspectives.

Our aim is to explore the complexities of history writing and the omissions within the historical record, paying particular attention to marginalized voices, including women, social and ethnic minorities, and underrepresented groups such as people with disabilities, whose roles in educational thought and practice have often been overlooked.
