EAHN2021 Conference, 2-5 June
EAHN2021, the European Architectural History Network’s sixth international conference is hosted by the University of Edinburgh. It takes place online, 2-5 June 2021. The programme and book of abstracts can be found here.
The European Architectural History Network came into existence in 2005, and is an international network promoting all kinds of research and education in architectural history. The biannual conference is EAHN’s biggest event. This year’s conference in Edinburgh follows successful conferences in Guimarães, Brussels, Turin, Dublin, and most recently (2018) Tallinn. EAHN remains free to join, and its journal Architectural Histories is open access. EAHN’s activities are supported by its conferences, the biannual conference above all. By registering for EAHN2021, you directly support EAHN’s mission and its remarkable range of activities.
This year’s conference features thirty paper sessions, and three plenary lectures. The paper sessions have the range you expect from EAHN. From drive-in architecture, to planning under state socialism, to the role of women in the architecture of medieval Europe, to public health in the early modern world—this is a global, transhistorical, and interdisciplinary event. The three plenary lectures deal with topics of real urgency this year: the impact of Black Lives Matter, the place of mass housing, and interdisciplinarity for architectural historians. As well as the main programme, the conference also has meetings for special interest groups, a virtual book fair and a set of Edinburgh site videos, which will bring the city to you wherever you are.
