Agenda
Workshop ‘Writing New Urban History’ (Brussels, 16 January 2026) – deadline registration 10 January 2026
The Centre for Urban History and the Centre of Excellence of the Antwerp Interdisciplinary Platform for Research into Inequality (AIPRIL) at Antwerp University jointly organise a workshop at the premises of the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) in Brussels on ‘Writing New Urban History’, related to the recent publication of the 3-volume ‘The Cambridge Urban History of Europe’.
The organisers seize the opportunity of this recent publication to look ahead to the future of urban history. For this workshop, several promising scholars (among whom several Posthumus-fellows) have been challenged to critically reflect on the New Cambridge Urban History of Europe as a companion to their own innovative research in the field. The workshop will be introduced by the editor if the publication and long-standing Posthumus fellow Maarten Prak.
Attendance is free of charge, but prior registration is required.
