*The Uses of Space In Early Modern History 1500-1850*

*Seminar Series 2011-12*

*International History Department, *

*London School of Economics*

The study of space and place is an increasingly important research-field
in the humanities and social sciences. This series explores how spatial
ideas and approaches can be used to understand the societies, cultures
and mentalities of the past. Leading scholars from a range of
disciplines will reflect on the uses of space in two respects: how
spatial concepts can be employed by or applied to the study of history;
and how particular spaces were used for practical and ideological
purposes in specific periods
