CALL FOR PAPERS

 

 

COMMANDER CHR. CHRISTENSEN’S WHALING MUSEUM IN SANDEFJORD,

NORWAY

 

 

Third Symposium on WHALING & HISTORY

 

 

THE 18TH TO THE 20TH JUNE 2009



The Whaling Museum is focusing on both social and environmental history and would like to have papers on topics such as:

People – The Whaling Man and his Family
Production and Use of Whale Products through the Centuries
The Economic Aspects of Whaling
Opposition to Whaling
The Environment – Ecology – Resource Management
Cultural Heritage Aspects

We will, however, consider any suggested theme within the broad topic of ‘whaling history’.


If you would be interested in participating in the main part of the symposium, please register your lecture about one of the above subjects by sending us the title and a brief summary of its contents, to jan.erik.ringstad@sandefjord.kommune.no



The closing date is the 31st March 2008


The Whaling Museum does not pay a lecture fee, but will cover travel and accommodation costs.
 
We plan to publish the lectures after the symposium and would therefore like a data version of the lecture notes.

Would you be so kind as to send this information to any interested parties?
