JUNE 22-24, 08:00 'Markets, Law, and Ethics, 1300-1850'.
This conference examines the culture of the market in the late medieval and early modern periods, conceived broadly as the norms, laws, customs and practices of exchange. It offers an opportunity for scholars from diverse historiographical backgrounds to come together and compare and contrast findings and thoughts across conventional chronologies and geographies, to reflect on the implications of supra-imperial and global approaches, and ponder possible future interpretations of late medieval/early modern market culture.
Organisers: Simon Middleton and James Shaw.
