How to Join

To join the History of Education Society, follow these steps:

For HES membership queries, please email the Taylor and Francis societies team, with History of Education in the subject line.

The HES provides a convivial and intellectually stimulating environment for the discussion of all matters related to the history of education, in its broadest sense. The Researcher carries interesting research and useful news about activities within and beyond Britain. The conferences are a highlight of the academic calendar.

The HES offers bursaries to enable postgraduate students to attend their annual conference. I’ve been going for the past few years, and always enjoy the friendly, supportive environment and thought-provoking presentations. The Society’s annual postgraduate events, which are run by students and focus on the research process, have also been really helpful.

Members of the HES have expertise across a range of topics, including the history of education policy, school architecture, science education, informal learning, and religious education, and they have experience of working with the media and community groups.
