Appel à communications – 5e Rencontre internationale de l’European Architectural History Network
Scholars wishing to chair a scholarly session or round-table debate at Tallinn 2018 are
invited to submit proposals by DECEMBER 12, 2016 to andres.kurg@artun.ee
Proposals in English, of no more than 400 words, including a session or round-table title, should summarise the subject and the premise. Please include name, professional affiliation (if applicable), address, telephone, e-mail address and a current CV.
European Architectural History Network (EAHN) is organising its fifth pan-European
meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, from June 14–16, 2018. In accordance with its mission
statement, the meeting aims to increase the visibility of the discipline; to foster
transcultural, transnational and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the built
environment; and to facilitate the exchange of research results in the field. Although
the scope of the meeting is European, members of the larger scholarly community are
invited to submit proposals related not only to European architecture but also to that
of the rest of the world.
The main purpose of the meeting is to map the general state of research in disciplines
related to the built environment, to promote discussion of current themes and
concerns, and to foster new directions for research in the field. Session proposals
are intended to cover different periods in the history of architecture and different
approaches to the built environment, including landscape and urban history.
Parallel
sessions will consist of either five papers or four papers and a respondent, with time
for dialogue and questions at the end. In addition, there will be a number of roundtable
debates addressing burning issues in the field. Proposals are sought for roundtable
debates that re-map, re-define or outline the current state of the discipline. They
will consist of a discussion between panel members, but will also encourage debate
with the audience. The goal is to create a forum for scholars to present and discuss
their ideas, research materials and methodologies.

The conference website address is http://eahn2018conference.ee
Duties of the chairs of session and of round-tables include : selecting from the
proposals submitted for presentation by the agreed deadline; communicating the
list of speakers and titles to the conference organisers by the agreed deadline;
and submitting material for the proceedings to the conference organisers by the
agreed deadline.
Chairs will not be eligible for selection as speakers in their own or
any other session or round table at the conference. It will be the responsibility of each
chair to ensure that the intellectual content selected for their session or round-table
is of a publishable standard—editorial assistance is available for non-native English
speakers. Sessions should be unique to EAHN. Should a similar or identical proposal
be found to have been presented or proposed at another conference, the Scientific
Committee reserves the right to withdraw that session or presentation from the EAHN
programme.
All chairs and selected presenters and speakers are required to obtain membership of
EAHN (available for an annual membership fee at www.eahn.org/members-2/) prior
to registration at the conference. Chairs are expected to pursue their own institutional
or other support for membership, registration, travel and accommodation.
Unfortunately, EAHN cannot assist with these expenses.
Proposals in English, of no more than 400 words, including a session or round-table
title, should summarise the subject and the premise. Please include name, professional
affiliation (if applicable), address, telephone, e-mail address and a current CV.
Proposals and short CVs should be submitted by e-mail, including the texts in both
the body of the mail and as attachments.
Session and round-table proposals will be selected on the basis of merit and the need
to organize a well-balanced programme. Please note: preference will be given
to proposals from chairs who have not hosted a session in the previous biennial
conference (Dublin 2016). The International Scientific Committee may organise
additional open sessions, depending on the response to this call.
