Social-Historical Sciences and Territory.
For a new season of research in Ferrara and beyond
Inauguration of the Research Unit of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the National Research Council in the Ferrara Municipal Historical Archive
January 23, 2025 at 9:00 a.m.
Ariostea Library, Via delle Scienze 17
Niccolini Library, Via Romiti 13
Ferrara
On the occasion of the inauguration of ISMed’s new Ferrara research unit, at the city’s Historical City Archive, a study day takes stock of the Ferrara1881 project, the first fundamental step towards the construction of a geo-historical portal on the city of Ferrara. At the same time, empirical studies based on a close relationship with the local territory (urban, rural and other centres) will be compared. The day is intended to reaffirm the importance of spatial dimensions for historical and social studies and the ambition for an interdisciplinary social science, capable of bringing together different perspectives, quantitative and qualitative approaches, dynamics of the past and present society, scholars, the population and other institutional and associative actors active in the territory.
