The way forwards

It is intended that the conference should be the first in a series of biennial or triennial conferences. The Brighton conference will be the occasion when either a European rural history society or a continuation committee of some sort will be formed. We are aware that this has prompted some debate in the international networks and the national societies. As a contribution towards this debate, we will post papers arguing for different courses of action beginning with one prepared by Professor Yves Segers of the Catholic University of Leuven. Further submissions are welcome.
