Goods From the East: Trading Eurasia 1600-1830
This major international conference will bring together scholars from across the globe who are addressing Europe's trade in and consumption of fine manufactured goods from China and India over this period. Its key aim is to connect and compare research on all of Europe's East India Companies as well as the private and privilege trade which brought these goods to Europe. Together we will discuss how these goods were ordered, how they were designed and made, and how they were sold and distributed in Europe. The keynote speaker will be Professor Jan de Vries (Berkeley). 11 - 13 January 2013 - Warwick in Venice, Palazzo Pesaro-PapafavaClick here for the conference programme with abstracts for each paper
