Call for papers
In recent years, the concept of urbanity has reemerged, crediting especially the bigger cities with a leading role in their societies' modernisation. At the same time, the urbanity of smaller towns is in debate. What is their role and future in times of de-industrialisation and de-urbanisation?
This conference is meant to explore the role of Nordic towns in a historical and comparative perspective. And to initialize a dialogue and a long-term cooperation between town historians from different nations.
The conference invites papers on town history of the North, from all historical periods, preferably with a comparative approach. The conference will take place on August 28-30, 2019, in Stockholm. The call for paper ends on December 1, 2018.
