European clerics and vernacular culture in the long nineteenth century
From Herder onwards, clerics were among the leading collectors of vernacular culture, and major contributors to ethnography in Europe and beyond. The aim of this three-day workshop is to establish what these collectors had in common intellectually and institutionally.
The due date for the call for papers has passed. The (provisional) programme will be announced soon.
