Annual Conference for the Society of U.S. Intellectual History, Thursday, November 6–Saturday, November 8, 2025
About this Event

We are thrilled to invite you to the 2025 Society for US Intellectual History annual conference! This year our conference will be held in Detroit, Michigan, on November 6-8, 2025, at the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Detroit Downtown – Fort Shelby.

This year's theme is "Creativity and Renewal" with a particular focus on the crossing of borders (of race, gender, class, nationality, religion, and culture) and the hybridized forms that result; the ways in which art, music, and dance become vehicles for intellectual debate and resistance; the nexus of capital, labor, and technology in the modern era; the dreams and failures of mid-twentieth century liberalism and urban policy; and the intersection of religion and social justice.

There will, of course, be papers on many topics. We hope the conference allows us to explore the ways in which social, political, and environmental distress can plant seeds of a better future. How do moments of crisis foster new ideas, policies, art, music, conceptions of modernity? How do intellectuals and artists encounter and embrace technological change? Where are the signs of renewal in our field, our discipline, and our nation?

Due to the prohibitive costs of hybrid events (in combination with the challenges of making such events pleasant for participants), there will be no hybrid options for presentation or attendance. Within those parameters, we plan to facilitate a conference that is accessible and welcoming to all who identify under USIH’s broad definition of intellectual history as “ideas in action.” We are committed to using the meeting as a venue for strengthening institutional connections to related organizations and contributing to S-USIH’s ongoing efforts in DEI.
