International Conference ‘Old wealth uncovered’ – Call for papers – deadline 31 January 2025

Organisers Matteo Pompermaier (Universitá degli Studi di Brescia and Martin Dackling (Lund University) call for papers for the International Conference ‘Old wealth uncovered. Inequalities and intergenerational transfer in the long run (15th to 20th centuries)’, to be held at Lund University, 2-3 June 2025.

The central theme of this conference is ‘How did inheritance work?’. The conference emphasises a comparative dimension and a long-term perspective across different places and periods and intentionally leaves space for a wide perspective on the topic of inheritance, and encourages historians from diverse fields – such as history, economic history, gender history, legal history, sociology, etc. – to apply.

Those interested in joining us at the conference, are asked submit an abstract (300-500 words), along with affiliation and contact information by e-mail to both Matteo Pompermaier and Martin Dackling before 31 January 2025.
