The journal «Bildungsgeschichte / International Journal for the Historiography of Education» is a bilingual forum (German and English) that aims to provide for, strengthen, and further develop both meta-theoretical and specific-topic discussions. At the metatheoretical level, the journal promotes the de-nationalization of research and its central research questions, calls into question both «great theories» of history and epochalizations, and pursues the combination of historical and comparative research approaches in the field of education. At the specific content level, it focuses on the rise and development of the school system; nationalization and internationalization of education policy; history of science, history of education, and history of theory since the Renaissance; and issues in historiography.
