" Paedagogica Historica is the only journal that offers both “traditional” studies on the historical recovery of education from around the world, and innovative new theoretical and methodological scholarship in the history of education. Paedagogica Historica is a particularly essential resource for American scholars in the history of education."
Professor Kate Rousmaniere, Department of Educational Leadership, Miami University, USA
" Paedagogica Historica is undoubtedly the leading journal in the field. In contrast to a series of national journals for the history of education, Paedagogica Historica is the most international one."
Dr. Jürgen Schriewer, Berlin University, Germany
"The international scope, the tackling of central issues of contemporary social sciences and historical scholarship, and its theoretical/archival contributions make it an important journal."
Thomas S. Popkewitz
