(Brussels, 31 May-3 June 2012)

Call for Session and Roundtable Proposals
Deadline: 19 December 2010

European Architectural History Network
Second International Meeting

Brussels, Belgium
31 May - 3 June 2012

The European Architectural History Network (EAHN) is organizing its
Second pan-European meeting in Brussels in 2012. In accordance with
the EAHN mission statement, this meeting proposes to increase the
visibility of the discipline of architectural history, 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. 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.

Though the scope of the meeting is European, members of the larger
scholarly community are invited to submit session proposals related
not only to Europe's geographical framework, but also to its
transcontinental aspects. 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 2012 EAHN Meeting in Brussels are invited to submit proposals
by 19 December 2010 to hilde.heynenasro.kuleuven.be , Prof. Hilde
