ICAG: Interfaculty Center for Agrarian History, University of Leuven (Web) in collaboration with the CORN (Comparative Rural History of the North Sea Area) research network

Time: 11-14 September 2017
Venue: Leuven, Belgium
Proposals by: 15 October 2016

The conferences aim at promoting the exchange of research questions and results, fostering co-operation between scholars engaged in the history of rural Europe and of its interaction with other parts of the world, from ancient times up to the present. Consequently the conferences are open to all interesting proposals within a broad range of themes and covering different historical periods and regions.

For Rural History 2017, the organizers encourage participants to present their newest and most promising research. They particularly welcome panels and papers which introduce unknown source material, develop new concepts or methods, and explore the connections between rural history and related research fields, such as archaeology, colonial history, environmental history, food and urban history, demography, anthropology, gender studies, etc, via a comparative, multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approach.
