Call for Papers:
Historical Geographies of Twentieth Century Britain
Proposals for papers are invited for a day long session at RGS-IBG 2000 at
Sussex University (4-7 January 2000) on Historical Geographies of Twentieth
Century Britain, organised by the Historical Geography Research Group of the
RGS-IBG. The session aims to showcase the growing body of work by historical
geographers on the 20th century, and to highlight connections between
geographical studies and those in related disciplines, including
contemporary history, cultural studies and sociology.
Papers may address the following possible themes:
- Britain and modernity
- Nationhood(s) in 20th century Britain
- changing identities in 20th century Britain
- the shifting global role of Britain in the 20th century
- changing urban, regional and rural geographies
- the persistence/emergence of questions of land and environment
We particularly encourage papers which are broad in scope, addressing
developments over a significant part of the century.
Proposals for contributions, consisting of a title and short abstract,
should be sent to one of the following convenors by 1st April 1999:
