Connecting economic and environmental histories in the pre-modern world

The masterclass is structured around the discussion of 4 to 8 pre-circulated papers (draft chapters, working papers, or provisional texts you want to turn into an article). Alexandra Sapoznik will co-ordinate the discussion and provide individual feedback. All participants are expected to have read each other’s paper in advance and give a short oral presentation of their submission, including information about its context and potential publication plans.

Applications

Interested early career researchers should send a one-page CV, a text of around 5-6000 words, and a 250-word abstract of the paper (all in English) to the organiser, Prof. Serena Ferente (s.ferente@uva.nl) by 29 April 2025, 13.00. Selected participants are expected to attend both the lecture and the masterclass.

This event is co-financed by the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies and Onderzoekschool Mediëvistiek.
