Cheiron: The international society for the history of behavioral & social sciences

58th Annual Cheiron Conference

The 58th Annual Meeting of Cheiron – The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences – will be held virtually from Thursday, June 25th through Saturday, June 27th, 2026. The theme of the meeting will be “Cheiron without Borders.” Mike Pettit is the program chair for the 2026 meeting. 

Due to the many increased challenges facing us (such as concerns about safe border crossings and diminished travel support from universities), we have decided an online meeting is the most feasible and accessible option for 2026. This is not a permanent change to the annual meeting. As part of our virtual gathering, we plan on hosting a dedicated session where the membership can exchange ideas about how best to sustain in person meetings long term.
