The spring seminar programme of the London Group of Historical Geographers -- which will be held online via Zoom -- will focus on the themes of "Translation and Circulation". A number of talks will, I think, be of interest to SHARPists.

19 January 2021, 17:30 GMT -- Iolanda Plescia (Sapienza University of Rome)

"Transit and translation: Galileo in England, 1660–1685"

2 February 2021, 17:30 GMT -- Susan Pickford (Sorbonne University)
"Translation and travel writing"

16 February 2021, 17:30 GMT -- Peter R. Martin (University of Cambridge)
"Arctic silence in circulation: mediating Inuit geographical knowledge"

2 March 2021, 17:30 GMT -- Alison E. Martin (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)
"Managing in translation: Alexander von Humboldt’s works in 19th-century Britain"

16 March 2021, 17:30 GMT -- Isabella Alexander (University of Technology Sydney)
"Copyright, maps and the circulation of geographical knowledge in 18th-century Britain"

Abstracts of the talks and links to register to attend are available on the website of the Institute of Historical Research (scroll down to "Term 2"): https://www.history.ac.uk/seminars/london-group-historical-geographers

Everyone is welcome.

With best wishes,
