10th Map History Colloquium - "The World in Cartographic Discourse"
The 10th Map History Colloquium will be held at the University of Kassel from June 10 to 11, 2022. For the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, the workshop will take place in person again. As the possible number of participants is limited, registration is requested by June 6, 2022 (contact: Birgit Peters, sekr-mittelalter[at]uni-kassel[dot]de).
The annual event offers a forum for young professionals to present their own projects on the cultural history of cartography from the Middle Ages to contemporary history and to discuss the methodological concepts of ongoing qualification projects. The focus is on exchanging ideas with each other and with established researchers. The initiators and organizers Prof. Dr. Ingrid Baumgärtner (Kassel), Prof. Dr. Martina Stercken (Zurich) and Prof. Dr. Ute Schneider (Duisburg-Essen) are proven experts in the field. The workshop builds on a series of successful previous events in Zurich (2011, 2017, 2021), Essen (2012, 2016, 2019), Paris (2014) and Kassel (2011, 2018).
