The 50th Conference of Irish Geographers offers an opportune moment to review the current place of Irish historical geography within the wider disciplinary landscape. This session seeks to bring together historical geographers with research interests in Ireland, whatever their specific area of specialism, in order to develop a sense of the scope and health of the sub-discipline today. We welcome papers, which are conceptually, theoretically, methodologically and/or empirically based. In keeping with the conference theme examining the past, present and future of ‘the earth as our home’ we hope this session will highlight the importance of historical contextualisation in helping us better understand contemporary patterns and processes. We are, therefore, particularly interested in submissions from colleagues whose research is bringing historical geography directly into conversation with other sub-disciplines and that crosses disciplinary divides.

Potential contributors are asked to send proposed titles and abstracts of up to a maximum of 250 words (clearly stating name, institution, and contact details) to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] by Friday 2nd March 2018.
