Babasaheb Ambedkar, one of the most important voices to have spoken against caste discrimination, was also the father of the Indian Constitution. Juxtapose this against the various caste-based attacks happening in the country today and a very different picture of India seems to be developing seventy years since freedom. After Rohith Vemula's suicide sparked protests and outrage across the country, questions about discrimination against Dalits and other castes have once again come to the forefront. With its long history of caste-based politics, it remains a sore subject that India still cannot properly address. Meena Kandasamy in 'He Has Left Us Only His Words' and Gopal Guru in 'For Dalit History Is Not Past But Present' write about why even education in India still functions in the shadow of caste-politics, and how India has never really escaped its past.

Der Aufsatz dreht sich zunächst um die Geschichte des Verhältnisses der beiden Disziplinen Geschichte und Psychologie, um die wichtigsten Felder dieser Beziehungen in den letzten anderthalb Jahrhunderten und um die Bedeutung des subjektiven Elements in der Geschichte und in der Historiographie überhaupt. Vertieft werden solche Grundsatzfragen an den kooperativen Möglichkeiten zwischen Psychoanalyse und Oral History und ihren Problemen, vor allem in den Fragen der Wirkung des Unbewussten in der Geschichte, der Wahrnehmung und Verarbeitung von Geschichte sowie des individuellen und des kollektiven Gedächtnisses.

"Thomas Kidd, a widely respected scholar of colonial history, deftly offers both depth and breadth in this accessible, introductory text on the American Colonial era. Interweaving primary documents and new scholarship with a vivid narrative reconstructing the lives of European colonists, Africans, and Native Americans and their encounters in colonial North America, Kidd offers fresh perspectives on these events and the period as a whole. This compelling volume is organized around themes of religion and conflict, and distinguished by its incorporation of an expanded geographic frame." -- Publisher's description

The social and organizational history of humanity is intricately entangled with the history of technology in general and the technology of information in particular. Advances in this area have often been closely involved in social and political transformations. While the contemporary period is often referred to by such names as the Computing and Information Age, this is the culmination of a series of historical transformations that have been centuries in the making. This course will provide a venue for students to learn about history through the evolution of number systems and arithmetic, calculating and computing machines, and advanced communication technology via the Internet. Students who take this course will attain a degree of technological literacy while studying core historical concepts. Students who complete this course will learn the key vocabulary of the computing discipline, which is playing a significant role in modern human thought and new media communications. The History of Computing will be organized around the historical perspective. The relationships between social organization, intellectual climate, and technology will be examined and stressed.

Women's history had its origins in the women's movement and in the new social history, and like other areas of social history, it has seen relatively few interchanges with world history as both have developed over the past twenty years. This article suggests some of the reasons for this lack of intersection; assesses recent scholarship that brings world history and the history of women, gender, and sexuality together; and suggests future directions.

This essay, following up on the recent Sy and Tinker [2005] and Tyson and Oldroyd [2007] debate, argues that accounting history research needs to present critiques of the present state of accounting's authoritative concepts and principles, theory, and present-day practices. It proposes that accounting history research could benefit by adopting a genealogical, "effective" history approach. It outlines four fundamental strengths of traditional history – investigate only the real with facts; the past is a permanent dimension of the present; history has much to say about the present; and the past, present, and future constitute a seamless continuum. It identifies Nietzsche's major concerns with traditional history, contrasts it with his genealogical approach, and reviews Foucault's [1977] follow up to Nietzsche's approach. Two examples of genealogical historiography are presented – Williams' [1994] exposition of the major shift in British discourse regarding slavery and Macintosh et al.'s [2000] genealogy of the accounting sign of income from feudal times to the present. The paper critiques some of the early Foucauldian-based accounting research, as well as some more recent studies from this perspective. It concludes that adopting a genealogical historical approach would enable accounting history research to become effective history by presenting critiques of accounting's present state.

The list of research given below is substantially longer than last year's despite the rigorous pruning of such dead wood as invariably appears among this vigorous growth. Yet it seems doubtful whether the Register will continue to grow at the rate it has shown for a decade or more, or even whether it will grow at all. The signs are that the rate at which work for higher degrees is being completed or abandoned has never been higher and the number of new starts being made on research for higher degrees appears to be on the decline: some 83 dissertations were successfully completed since the last listing: another 60 or so were abandoned or put into suspense.
