Working in the Medieval City in Europe

This Academic Meetings seek to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of medieval studies. Each Congress has one particular special thematic strand on an area of interdisciplinary study in a wider context.
Next Autumn the town council of Nájera will once again host the International Meetings of the Middle Ages, organized by the Medieval Research Group on Atlantic Urban Societies of the University of Cantabria (http://atlanticports.unican.es/).
The international conference will take place in Nájera (Spain), from November 10-11, 2016.
The topic of this year is about:
Working in the Medieval City in Europe
We will focus on
• Organization, framing and representation of work
• Employment, labor market and mobility
• Entrepreneurship and industrial proletariat
• Labor wages and living standards
• Labor regulations and legislation
• Workers in the Atlantic port cities
• Working women
• Child labor
• Labor Unrest
• Labor and social identity
• Work organization and social relations
This fascinating conference may be a good springboard to facilitate this goal.
