The conference completes the Norwegian Research Council funded project\u00a0\u201cMedieval urban health: from private to public responsibility\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(2017-2020), whose goal is to shed new light on how public health evolved from individual health practices to actions for public health; what factors caused this ground-breaking development? The overarching methodological principle has been to compare the natural and built urban environment in medieval Trondheim with the development of health, diet, and mobility. The basic information has been gathered from the large collection of well-preserved skeletons from medieval cemeteries in Trondheim. Biomolecular analyzes are applied to identify the character and volume of infectious diseases in the urban population during the period c. AD100-1600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please click the link below to join the webinar: PROGRAM<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 1 \u2013 February 17.02<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Session 1: Health, decease and environment – a multidisciplinary field of research<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Moderator: Axel Chistophersen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Medieval urban health cannot be studied withought insight in the complex relations between health, environment and social conditions, and without applying all available empirical data. How can we perform interdisciplinary research practices regarding health, disease and environmental issues in medieval urban environments? <\/p>\n\n\n\n 09.00-09.15: Welcome, practicalities (Axel Christophersen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 09.15-09.45: Key note speaker:<\/strong> Guy Geltner (Monash University, Clayton, Australia): <\/p>\n\n\n\n Laws, LiDAR and Ligaments: A Multidisciplinary<\/em><\/a> Approach to the History of Miners\u2019 Health in Europe, c. 1200-1600<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 09.45-10.15:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0John Robb (University of Cambridge), Craig Cessford (University of Cambridge), Eugenia D\u2019Atanasio (La Sapienza University, Rome), Jenna Dittmar (University of Aberdeen), Meriam Guellil (Estonian Bioscience Centre), Ruoyun Hui (Turing Institute,), Sarah Inskip (University of Leicester), Marcel Keller, Toomas Kivisild (KU Leuven), Piers Mitchell (University of Cambridge), Bram Mulder (University of Cambridge), Tamsin O\u2019Connell (University of Cambridge), Alice Rose ()University of Cambridge, and Christiana Lyn Scheib (University of Cambridge and Estonian Bioscience Centre):\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health and society in medieval Cambridge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.15-10.30: Pause<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.30-11.00: Hanna Dahlstr\u00f6m (Museum of Copenhagen, Denmark) and Elizabeth Newell, Elizabethtown College, Pennsylvania, US):<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first Copenhageners – An interdisciplinary investigation of burials from two medieval churchyards from Copenhagen, Denmark.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 11.00-11.30: Ole Georg Moseng (University of South-East Norway): <\/p>\n\n\n\n Health history – an interdisciplinary field of research.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 11.30-12.00:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Axel Christophersen\u00a0(NTNU University Museum, Department of Archaeology and Cultural History):<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/em>Layers lost: Why are the cultural layers from late-medieval towns in Scandinavia so scarce?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.00-12.30: Plenary discussion<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12.30-13.00: Lunch<\/p>\n\n\n\n Session 2: Towns, urban landscape and environment (Moderator: Ole Georg Moseng)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The medieval towns created its own environmental conditions.
