Trending and Emerging
- Intersectionality in History:
There is a growing trend towards exploring intersectionality, particularly how race, gender, and class intersect in historical narratives. This approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of societal dynamics and the experiences of marginalized groups. - Environmental Histories:
An increasing number of publications are focusing on environmental history, examining how historical events have influenced and been influenced by ecological factors. This trend reflects a broader societal interest in sustainability and environmental justice. - Digital Humanities and Archival Research:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Military Histories:
There seems to be a waning interest in traditional military histories that focus solely on battles, strategies, and military figures. Instead, the journal is gravitating towards more nuanced social histories that consider broader socio-political contexts. - Eurocentric Historical Narratives:
The journal's emphasis on Eurocentric perspectives appears to be diminishing, with a stronger focus now on local narratives and the histories of non-European societies, particularly in Latin America. - Urban Development Studies:
Research specifically centered on urban development and modernization during the early 20th century is becoming less frequent. The journal is shifting towards broader themes of cultural heritage and local histories rather than strictly urbanization processes. - Economic History Focused on Industrialization:
While economic history remains relevant, there is less emphasis on industrialization narratives. The current trend leans more towards cultural and social implications of economic changes rather than purely economic analyses. - Historical Biographies of Prominent Figures:
The journal is seeing a decline in the publication of biographies of prominent historical figures, favoring collective narratives and studies that emphasize community experiences over individual achievements.
