Historical geography as an international discipline
[session 2]
Professor Alan R. H. Baker (University of Cambridge, UK)
This plenary session will consider the changing nature of historical
geography as an international discipline. It is prompted by two
anniversaries in 2015: it is forty years since the first of what
became the International Conference of Historical Geographers
series took place in Kingston, Ontario, and also forty years since the
foundation of the Journal of Historical Geography by A. H. Clark and
John Patten. Alan R. H. Baker’s paper on the internationalization of
historical geography will be followed by short responses from five
conference participants - , and an open discussion. The session will
be followed by an icebreaker reception sponsored by the Journal of
Historical Geography, at 18.00 in the Main Hall.
