At LUCK, we have a broad interest in the history of knowledge, including the concepts, methodologies, theories and analytical frameworks of the field. During the years 2026–2029, however, we have singled out four more distinct areas which we will focus on. In many ways, these areas reflect our main scholarly interests at the moment, and each of them comprises one or several ongoing projects.

Focus areas

• History of the humanities (coordinator: Isak Hammar)

• Early modern knowledge practices (coordinator: Kajsa Weber)

• Postwar knowledge societies (coordinator: Johan Östling)

• Knowledge and education (coordinator: Björn Lundberg)
