From: Bart Ooghe <[log in to unmask]>
Dear all,
This is a reminder of the call for abstracts for "Mercator Revisited:
Cartography in the Age of Discovery".
The conference, to be held in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) from April 25-28
2012, will focus on the place of cartography in general and Mercator in
specific within the 16th century. It aims to provide a forum for new
ideas and research findings from the fields of geography, historical
cartography, history, art history or cultural heritage.
Key-notes will be delivered by Georg Gartner (ICA), Jerry Brotton
(University of London), Mark Monmonier (Syracuse University) and Thomas
Horst (Munich University).
The deadline for abstract submission is September 1st.
For more details please check the conference website:

On behalf of the organisation,
Best wishes,
Bart Ooghe
