The European Architectural History Network is delighted to announce that its next biannual meeting will take place at the Aarhus University Campus, 17-21 June 2026.

The call is open to research that delves into unexplored or underexplored periods, geographies, buildings, architects, and texts. Conversely, we also seek to reexamine established architectural themes from unconventional perspectives, highlighting voices and contributors that have historically been marginalized. By inviting these diverse perspectives, the meeting aims to enrich the discourse of architectural history and push the boundaries of the field.

We seek thematic proposals in two basic formats: approximately 25 parallel ‘Sessions’ and a limited number of ‘Roundtables’ focused on pressing issues in the field.

A session should consist of 4-5 paper presentations, with time allocated for discussion and questions at the end. Session proposals do not need to include a list of speakers, as all sessions will be open to applicants through the general call for papers (once the final selection of sessions is made).

A roundtable, on the other hand, should involve a discussion among 3-5 speakers on topics of particular urgency or contemporary relevance. Roundtables should aim to engage the audience in active participation. Proposals for roundtables must include a tentative list of speakers, as they will not be part of the general call for papers. It should be noted that only a limited number of roundtable proposals will be selected by the conference's scientific committee.

Sessions and Roundtables may be chaired by more than one person.

Scholars wishing to chair a Session or a Roundtable at EAHN 2026 are invited to submit a proposal by Friday, 17 January 2025, 23.59 CET. Applications should include a title and description of the theme and scope of the Session or Roundtable (no more than 500 words), as well as the institutional affiliation (if any), contact details and short CVs of the Chair(s) (no more than 200 words each). Applications should state clearly (next to the title), whether the proposal is a Session, or a Roundtable. Please include all the above in a single pdf file and send it to EAHN2026cc.au.dk.
