We invite historical geographers and professionals interested in environmental and social history, and the history of science, technology and cartography to the 12th International Conference of Historical Geographers, 9-13 December, and its Post-Conference field trip 14 to 18th December.
Papers are invited on all aspects of Historical Geography. We aim to provide a variety of sessions and welcome contributions on the broad themnes listed below as well as your suggestions.
In this 12th conference we pay special attention to relationships forged 'on the edge'. Located on the (leading) edge of the world, Auckland and New Zealand offer challenging settings and viewpoints for historical geographic research. We encourage you to think on the following themes, but from the edge rather than the centre.
Nature, Landscape and Environment
Colony, Empire and Imperial Space
Identities: Nation, Gender, Class, Ethnicity
Farms, Food and Markets
City, Suburb and Countryside
