The main purpose of the meeting is to map the general state of research in disciplines related to the built environment, to promote discussion of current themes and concerns, and to foster new directions for research in the field. Session proposals are intended to cover different periods in the history of architecture and different approaches to the built environment, including landscape and urban history. Parallel sessions will consist of either five papers or four papers and a respondent, with time for dialogue and questions at the end. In addition, a limited number of roundtable debates addressing burning issues in the field will also take place at the meeting. Proposals are sought for roundtable debates that re-map, re-define, and outline the current discipline. They will typically consist of a discussion between panel members and encourage debate with the audience. The goal is to create a forum in which different scholars can present and discuss their ideas, research materials and methodologies.
Scholars wishing to chair a scholarly session or a roundtable debate at the 2012 EAHN Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, are invited to submit proposals by 19 December 2020 to hilde.heynen@asro.kuleuven.be, Prof. Hilde Heynen, General Chair of the EAHN Second International Meeting, KU Leuven, Department of Architecture, Urbanism and Planning, Kasteelpark Arenberg 1, 3001 Leuven, Belgium. Phone: +32 16 321 361. A conference website will be online shortly.

A link on the website www.eahn.org will soon be available to enable anyone to join the EAHN as a dues-paying participating member.
