How might historians narrate design within broader human stories of making place in the land? How might alternative histories of landscape creation be read for the manifold makings and meanings of diverse periods and places focused on the people who imagine and form land? This call for papers seeks to identify research that looks beyond canonical histories of design and architecture to include the people, particularly those how have been marginalized and yet are the makers and shapers. This call seeks to engage projects that generate counternarratives that expand our reading of landscape history.
We welcome interest from a broad array of scholars, including historical geographers, economic historians, anthropologists, and social and political scientists as well as urban, landscape, and garden historians. We will consider papers about landscapes from across the globe and time periods.
Submissions are due by July 15, 2021.
