10th Colloquium on the History of Maps - "The World in Cartographic Discourse".
On June 10-11, 2022, the 10th Map History Colloquium will be hosted at the University of Kassel. For the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, the workshop will be held in attendance. Since the possible number of participants is limited, registration is requested by June 6, 2022 (contact: Birgit Peters, sekr-mittelalter[at]uni-kassel[dot]de).
The annual event offers a forum for young professionals to present their own projects on the history of cartography in cultural history from the Middle Ages to contemporary history and to discuss the methodological concepts of ongoing qualification theses. The focus is on the exchange among each other and with established researchers. The initiators and organizers Prof. Dr. Ingrid Baumgärtner (Kassel), Prof. Dr. Martina Stercken (Zurich) and Prof. Dr. Ute Schneider (Duisburg-Essen) are renowned experts in the field. The workshop builds on a series of successful previous events in Zurich (2011, 2017, 2021), Essen (2012, 2016, 2019), Paris (2014) and Kassel (2011, 2018).
