Call for Papers
for the seventh biennial conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO)
The 7th Biennial Conference of the European Rural History Organisation (EURHO) continues the tradition of the EURHO conferences, held before in Bern (2013), Girona (2015), Leuven (2017), Paris (2019), Uppsala (2021/22) and Cluj (2023).
The EURHO Rural History Conferences have provided a welcoming atmosphere to present the results of already consolidated projects or to test exploratory ideas. The study of rural and agrarian past has involved researchers and students from different disciplines. Historical perspectives have usually been shared with anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, economists, geographers, linguists, sociologists and, recently, biologists, geneticists and chemists. Following the trends of previous conferences, Rural History 2025 in Coimbra would like to receive proposals for sessions and papers that cross analytical perspectives, interdisciplinary methodologies and new scientific objects. The current challenges facing science and society call for new contributions from scholars working on different perspectives of our rural and agrarian past. The Organising Committee encourages the submission of proposals that promote in-depth and pluralistic analyses, dealing with any chronology or territory.
The Call for Sessions for Rural History 2025 has been very successful resulting in around 90 proposed sessions. Now, we open the Call for Papers for the Seventh Biennial Conference of the European Rural History Organisation. This call aims to provide paper proposals to the interesting sessions received and will be open from 15 November 2024 to 20 January 2025.
All interested researchers can submit their proposals to the accepted sessions, which can be found on the conference website. The communications included in the initial session proposals must also be registered through the website.
A paper proposal must include a title, the name and affiliation of the authors and a short abstract (150-200 words) introducing the topic, its scope and approach. Participants may not propose more than two paper presentations at the conference sessions.
Each session organiser can decide the maximum number of papers (the minimum number is 3) in their panel, although the Organising Committee recommend no more than 5 proposals for each session, as it will take up two hours. If necessary, the possibility of double sessions could be considered, at the request of those interested, if the space availability allows it.
To submit a paper proposal, you must register at https://ruralhistory2025.org/login/
Then, from the dashboard section you need to create a “new paper”, add the necessary data and select the session to which you want to submit your paper. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email.
