Ideas at Work: Intellectual History Graduate Conference
13-14 December 2013, Aarhus University, DK
Welcome to Ideas at Work: Intellectual History Graduate Conference. This 2-day event
gives graduate and postgraduate students working in the broad field of intellectual history
a chance to get to present their work to a wider audience. Under the general theme “Ideas
at Work” we want to explore the different ways ideas have functioned, performed,
created, shaped, been shaped by, justified and otherwise manifested themselves in
practices, institutions, concepts, and the material world throughout history.
