CONCEPTA: International Research School in Conceptual History

Offered in cooperation with the Dept. of Culture and Global Studies, Aalborg University, The Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, the Dept. of History, University of Southern Denmark, and the Graduate School of Arts, Aarhus University

In the summer of 2013, Concepta, International Research School in Conceptual History and Political Thought, and partner institutions will organize the eight Introduction to Conceptual History course (the course have been located at the University of Helsinki, Finland, in the previous years). An international team of distinguished scholars and visiting lecturers will help participants critically examine the chief concepts in the humanities and social sciences from new perspectives. The goal of conceptual history is to illuminate the concepts and ideas that are central to the operation of political and social life through the study of their migration, reception, translation, and diffusion through time and space. Conceptual analysis involves looking at larger semantic, discursive, ideological and rhetorical settings in which concepts are given meaning. Doing conceptual history, therefore, demands familiarity with a variety of linguistically oriented approaches to discourse and ideology, as well as to rhetoric. The course has two main objectives. First, it introduces students to the fundamental aspects of the theory and methodology of conceptual history (scholars such as Reinhart Koselleck, Quentin Skinner, John Pocock, and Michel Foucault), which they can then use as tools in their own research. Second, it explores contemporary trends in conceptual history through case studies. The course includes a series of lectures, a seminar and workshops. It is designed for Danish and international PhD and advanced Master’s degree students from various academic fields.

Baker Library Historical Collections is pleased to join in the celebration
of the 50th anniversary of women’s admission into the full MBA program at Harvard Business School (HBS) with Building the Foundation: Business Education for Women at Harvard University, 1937-1970.
The exhibition will run until September 22, 2013 in the North Lobby, Baker Library | Bloomberg Center, Harvard Business School.

Building the Foundation traces the early history of business education for
women at Harvard University from the founding of the one-year certificate
program at Radcliffe College in 1937 to the HBS faculty vote to admit
women into the two year MBA program and finally to the complete
integration of women into the HBS campus life by 1970. Illustrating the
evolution of this formative period are photographs, interviews, reports,
and correspondence from Baker Library Historical Collections at Harvard
Business School and from the Schlesinger Library on the History of Women
in America at the Radcliffe Institute.

The telling documents reveal how program directors, administrators, and
faculty shaped business education for women at the University, preparing
students to take their places in the business world. The pioneering
graduates of these programs would go on to help open doors to formerly
unattainable opportunities for generations of women who followed.
