Conceptions of Space in Historical and Cultural Geography
Department of Geography, University of Cambridge
Thursday January 9 2003
The aim of this symposium is to explore how geographical concepts are
operationalised in historical research. To this end we have six papers by
geographers and historians that take different readings of space as their
theoretical point of departure. Each paper will be 40 minutes in
presentation with 20 minutes for discussion.
