DESCRIPTION:The History Educators International Research Network [HEIRNET] 
	hosts an annual conference which brings together colleagues from all aroun
	d the world who are interested in history’s civilising\, cultural\, educat
	ional\, moral\, social\, political\, and citizenship roles. HEIRNET is a s
	mall but friendly informal organisation\, and 2026 marks our 22nd year of 
	existence. This year\, we are delighted that the University of Padova in I
	taly is hosting HEIRNET 2026.\n\nAs education systems across the world wre
	stle with political polarisation\, technological acceleration\, and renewe
	d contestation over cultural memory and identity\, there is a pressing nee
	d to explore the ways in which history education\, including teaching and 
	learning and scholarship\, can respond to urgent contemporary challenges.\
	n\nIn societies shaped by a multitude of cross-cutting\, complex\, and som
	etimes conflicting forces\, history education faces renewed questions abou
	t its purposes\, practices\, and public responsibilities. By examining the
	 diverse and wide-ranging trajectories that may shape history education ov
	er the coming decades\, the 22nd annual HEIRNET conference aims to stimula
	te dialogue about the field’s future contributions to society. As well as 
	the regular themes (see the website)\, this year HEIRNET welcomes proposal
	s that interrogate current and emerging research trajectories or demonstra
	te innovation in scholarship\, policy\, pedagogy\, and public engagement w
	ith history. Building on international work exploring historical thinking\
	, historical consciousness\, disciplinary knowledge\, and the uses of the 
	past\, this conference also invites researchers to critically consider how
	 the field might develop across the coming decades.
