On the 16th and 17th of March 2017, professor Jelle Haemers and doctoral researcher Ben Eersels coordinate a two-day workshop on bottom-up initiatives in the making of Late Medieval urban politics. This workshops reconsiders the involvement of urban commoners in politics during the Late Middle Ages (13th – 15th centuries). It will focus on the alternative ideas commoners held on the government of society (‘contentious thought’) to ascertain their contributions to governmental practices.
Enrollment is free, but those who want to participate in both lunches are asked to pay a fee of 20 euros. Please register by e-mailing to ben.eersels@kuleuven.be.
