BAHS Winter Conference 2023:
Government, Agriculture and Rural Society
The Society's Winter Conference, on Government, Agriculture and Rural Society, will be held from 10.00 to 16.30 on Saturday 2nd December, in Room 2.06, Cheng Kin Ku Building Lincoln's Inn Fields, LSE London, WC2A 3LJ.
The major reform of British agricultural policy in the wake of Brexit serves as a reminder of how much farming, and rural society, is shaped by the actions and institutions of government. The theme of this year’s British Agricultural History Society Winter conference is the role of government in its broadest sense in agriculture and rural society – from manorial and estate governance in the medieval period and later to the ministerial decisions and international agreements of the modern era.
Sally Finn-Kelcey (Trinity College Dublin) will speak on 'Interwoven Fortunes: English Government, Burgundian Dukes and Irish Wool in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries'; Bess Rhodes (University of St Andrews), on 'A Vision for Scotland? The Environmental Policies of James V and Marie de Guise'; Pankoj Sarkar (University of Warsaw), on 'The British Raj and Vernacular Agricultural Science Periodicals in India: Peer, Periodical and Practices in Agricultural Science Dissemination in Colonial Bengal'; Lewis Willcox (University of Edinburgh), on 'The Turra Coo Revisited: An Episode of State Intervention in Rural Scotland'; and Alan Swinbank (University of Reading), on 'Reconciling Britain’s Agricultural Trade Policy Initiatives – 1960–1975 – with World Trade Rules'
