HistoryLab 20th Anniversary Annual Conference 2026 — Call for Papers

Embodied Histories: Body, Mind, and Experience

17th July 2026 | Hybrid Conference, in-person at University of Birmingham, Staff House, Grand Central Room

The human body is both a biological reality and a cultural construct. It is a site of meaning, experience, and power. From rituals of health and healing to practices of regulation, discipline, and display, bodies have both shaped and been shaped by their historical contexts.
We invite papers that place the body and lived experience at the centre of historical inquiry, engaging with themes such as medicine, disability, gender, the senses, and the emotions. We welcome contributions that explore how bodies and experiences have been represented, regulated, or performed, and how these processes intersect with broader questions of identity, power, culture, and society across periods and regions.

This conference also marks the 20th anniversary of HistoryLab. Since its founding, HistoryLab has provided a national platform for postgraduate and early career historians to share ideas, foster collaboration, and build community. We invite participants to join us in celebrating this milestone year.

Our conference #cfp is now live! This year's conference, "Embodied Histories: Body, Mind and Experience" will take place on 17th July 2026 at University of Birmingham!

A 1930 picture of the Cambridge Theatre, Seven Dials in Matt Houlbrook's book Songs of Seven Dials photographed in front of the Cambridge Theatre, Seven Dials in October 2025.

Interested in the history of Seven Dials or London or the 1920s and 1930s? I'm doing some walking tours of the Dials with @stanfordstravel.bsky.social on Sat 15 Nov.

There's loads to see, but Seven Dials is so small you don't need to walk far.
