The Small City in Global Context Conference


The conference, which will take place April 12-14, 2007, explores the
history of non-metropolitan urban settings. It features papers that deal
with the history of small cities during the early modern or modern eras
in both western and non-western contexts. In bringing a diverse range of
scholars together, the conference provides an opportunity to compare
approaches, methods, and sources. Panelist seek to explore the
distinctive experiences of small-city life across time and space, to
consider the development of secondary urban centers in different
historical contexts, and to define further the history of small cities
as a distinctive subject of inquiry within the larger field of urban
studies. To facilitate discussion, papers will be made available in
advance to conference participants. Preregistration deadline is March
30, 2007. The program is available at
