Seventh biennial conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO) (Web)

Time: 09.-12.09.2025
Venue: Coimbra, Portugal
Proposals by: 30.09.2024

The 7th Biennial Conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO) continues the tradition of the EURHO conferences, held before in Bern (2013), Girona (2015), Leuven (2017), Paris (2019), Uppsala (2021/22) and Cluj (2023).
The EURHO Rural History Conferences have provided a welcoming atmosphere to present the results of already consolidated projects or to test exploratory ideas. The study of rural and agrarian past has involved researchers and students from different disciplines. Historical perspectives have usually been shared with anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, economists, geographers, linguists, sociologists and, recently, biologists, geneticists and chemists. Following the trends of previous conferences, Rural History 2025 in Coimbra would like to receive proposals for sessions and papers that cross analytical perspectives, interdisciplinary methodologies and new scientific objects. The current challenges facing science and society call for new contributions from scholars working on different perspectives of our rural and agrarian past. The Organising Committee encourages the submission of proposals that promote in-depth and pluralistic analyses, dealing with any chronology or territory.
Sessions will be led by a chair or by a chair and a discussant, and will have at least three papers. Each session organisers can decide the maximum number of papers in their panels, although the organising committee recommend no more than 5 proposals for each session, as it will take up two hours. If necessary, the possibility of double sessions could be considered, at the request of those interested, if the space availability allows it. Read more and source … (Web)
