Chester Symposium, 'Putting History in Its Place': Historical Landscapes & Environments

Following the spatial turn in history, place, space, and landscape deserve to be recognised as fundamental categories of historical social analysis. All human action is emplaced within historically specific and contingent landscapes and environments. These are not merely canvasses on which human action is played out, but constitute active social and cultural agents in producing change.

The aim of this one-day symposium, sponsored by the Royal Historical Society, is to provide a forum for scholars to consider the relationship between historical change and historic landscapes and environments.

Three plenary lectures will be delivered by Professor Elizabeth Tingle, Professor John Blair, and Professor William Whyte.
