Call for Papers: Academic Book Project “Us and Them”

24 07 2025

Last month, the HGGS Summer Forum 2025: “Us and Them” was held in Heidelberg. Organized by the Heidelberg Graduate School for the Humanities and Social Sciences, the interdisciplinary conference brought together doctoral candidates, researchers and academics from diverse fields to examine the dichotomy of the concepts of  “Us” and “Them” and how it can shape social, cultural and political boundaries.

Building on the success of the conference, a collaborative book project has been launched. Academic paper submissions by PhD candidates, researchers, and academics across all fields of study are encouraged, regardless of whether they participated in the conference.

Key Dates:

• Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025
• Notification of Acceptance: January 31, 2026
• Publication: 2026
