With this conference, we aim to explore future research tasks and tools for the history of sociology. To this end, we will engage with disciplinary and non-disciplinary approaches, theories, methods, data, and practices that are central to contemporary developments in sociology and the social sciences. We want to stimulate a dialogue between colleagues from the history of  sociology and other subfields of contemporary sociology as well as with colleagues from other relevant academic fields of knowledge inside and outside of the social sciences. Together, we would like to reflect on the opportunities and challenges of the present and the future of the social sciences from a perspective informed by the history of sociology.
