The 2026 EHS Conference theme will be 'The Church and Race', held in London on 13-15 July 2026. It will take place at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Keynote speakers:
- Professor Miri Rubin, Queen Mary University of London, EHS President
- Professor Herman Bennett, City University of New York (CUNY)
- The Right Reverend Rowan Williams
This Call for Papers invites members of the Society, scholars at all career stages, as well as independent scholars and religious leaders, to join us in 2026 to reflect on the Church – better still, Churches - and Race. We invite 20-minute communications regarding any time or region of Christian history in its broadest sense, papers based on original research, some of which will be published in the resulting volume in the series Studies in Church History.
For more details on themes, see the full CFP.
Proposals can only be accepted if submitted on the form below. The final deadline for receipt is 15 April 2026.
The form should be returned as a MS Word file attachment to the Assistant Editor at ehseditorial@gmail.com. Do not scan a handwritten form: fill it in on a computer.

Conference Bursaries
The EHS offers a number of generous bursaries to allow postgraduate students to attend its Summer Conferences. Bursaries cover all the costs of attending the conference: registration, food and single accommodation at the basic rate for up to three nights. They are not normally intended to cover travel, which can often be funded in other ways.
Applications and references should be sent to Dr Joseph Hardwick (joseph.hardwick@northumbria.ac.uk) by the same deadline as that for communications: 15 April 2026.
