10 mar 2023
Van 13:00 - 17:30uur
Nijmegen

We are excited to announce our next HHH meeting, which will take place on March 10th in Nijmegen. This year, the meeting is a collaboration between historical demographers and medical historians.

Medical history meets historical demography

On the 10th of March, the History Health and Healing network will meet with historical demography! This meeting will take place at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, where professor dr. Jan Kok, professor in economic, social and demographic history, will give a word of welcome. The keynote will be given by dr. Evelien Walhout, assistant professor in economic and social history at Leiden University, who has a particular interest in both historical demography and gender history. The programme follows with sessions which cover a range of topics where medical historians and historical demographers can learn from each other. Among the confirmed speakers are also Leo van Bergen, Gemma Blok, Daniel Curtis, Ralf Futselaar, Johan Mackenbach, Mayra Murkens, Paul Puschmann, Björn Quanjer and Martijn van der Meer. We will conclude with drinks in the Cultuur Café, which hopefully will spark new collaborations and inspiration!
