Call for Session and Roundtable Proposals
Due date: 19 December 2008

European Architectural History Network
First International Meeting

Guimarães, Portugal
17-20 June 2010

The time has come for scholars who share research and teaching
objectives in architectural history to gather at a single pan-European
meeting. In accordance with the EAHN mission statement, this meeting
proposes to increase the visibility of the discipline, to foster
transnational, interdisciplinary and multicultural approaches to the
study of the built environment, and to facilitate the exchange of
research results in the field. Though the scope of the meeting is
European, members of the larger scholarly community are invited to
submit proposals related not only to Europe's geographical framework,
but also to its transcontinental aspects.

The main purpose of the meeting is to map the general state of
research in disciplines related to the built environment, to promote
discussion of current themes and concerns, and to foster new
directions for research in the field. Session proposals are intended
to cover different periods in the history of architecture and
different approaches to the built environment, including landscape and
urban history. Parallel sessions will consist of either five papers or
four papers and a respondent, with time for dialogue and questions at
the end. In addition, a limited number of roundtable debates
addressing burning issues in the field will also take place at the
meeting. Proposals are sought for roundtable debates that re-map, re-
define, and outline the current discipline. They will typically
consist of a discussion between panel members and encourage debate
with the audience. The goal is to create a forum in which different
scholars can present and discuss their ideas, research materials and
methodologies.

Scholars wishing to chair a scholarly session or a roundtable debate
at the 2010 EAHN Meeting in Guimarães, Portugal, are invited to submit
proposals by 19 December 2008 to jorge.correiaarquitectura.uminho.pt
