Journal Descriptions

Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture. Since its founding in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has aspired to be an ecumenical and encyclopedic venue for research in the capacious interdisciplinary field of intellectual history. Now, more than 80 years later, the JHI Blog continues this mission in a dynamic online format, reaching a wide audience within and beyond academia. A vital supplement to the journal, the blog publishes think-pieces, fora, and interviews on the broadest range of fields, topics, figures, methodologies, and contexts. We also feature conference reports, exhibition reviews, and reading recommendations, as well as a podcast. The JHI Blog is a space for public-facing interdisciplinary and original work, especially promoting new research from graduate students and early career scholars. We aim to keep intellectual history in constant evolution and connected to other disciplines. The JHI Blog is edited by graduate students Zac Endter, Rajosmita Roy, and Jacob Saliba with the support of a team of contributing editors from a wide range of fields, from academia to public history and beyond.
