“The Institut d’Histoire de la Révolution Française: Changing Time”
Edited by Stephen Sawyer, American University of Paris
The Institut d’Histoire de la Révolution Française (IHRF) is an organization that has long played a central role welcoming Anglophone scholars into the French academic world. The IHRF, however, currently is undergoing significant institutional changes. H-France has taken this moment in the IHRF’s history to prepare a salon, edited by Stephen Sawyer, in which four scholars reflect upon their experiences with the IHRF. While there are many conflicting views on the changes the IHRF faces, we hope these pieces will highlight the important role the IHRF has served as an academic and intellectual center.
The salon begins with a brief introduction:
Stephen Sawyer, American University of Paris, “‘My IHRF’: Thoughts from Across the Pond”
The salon then continues with four essays:
Jeremy Popkin, University of Kentucky, “The Institut d’Histoire de la Révolution Française in World-Historical Perspective”
Jennifer Ngaire Heuer, University of Massachusetts Amherst, “My IHRF: From the Bicentennaire to the 21st Century”
David A. Bell, Princeton University, “My IHRF”

“Thermidor: A Collaboration between French Historical Studies and H-France”
Edited by Jean-Luc Chappey, Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Institut d’histoire moderne et contemporaine
The February 2015 and August 2016 issues of French Historical Studies presented a two-part forum entitled “Thermidor and the French Revolution” edited by Laura Mason, Johns Hopkins University. H-France has developed an issue of H-France Salon to continue the conversation on the important articles in this forum.
The salon begins with a brief introduction:
Jean-Luc Chappey, Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Institut d’histoire moderne et contemporaine, “Introduction”
The salon then continues with two essays reflecting on the articles in the SFHS Forum:
Philippe Bourdin, Université Blaise-Pascal, “Continuité historique et écriture immédiate des événements révolutionnaires post-thermidoriens”
Hervé Leuwers, Université Lille 3 – UMR IRHiS, “Interroger le 9 Thermidor et ses suites”
The salon then concludes with a written conversation between Mason and Chappey on the issues raised in the original forum and the salon:
Jean-Luc Chappey and Laura Mason, “Le moment thermidorien – un « laboratoire politique » ?”
