Bear and Human - the Conference

The prominent role of bears in human history is a topic widely discussed by scholars in different scientific fields. The aim of the conference about ‘Bear and human: facets of a multi-layered relationship’ is to explore and contribute to a better understanding of this relationship in the period from the late hunter and gatherers until modern times, by including biologists and a broad range of representatives from the Humanities. The geographic focus will be laid upon northern Europe, with special reference to highly relevant sources known from Sweden. 

Conference granted

We are happy to announce that we have received grants from four different parties which will make possible the arrangement of the conference: Swedish Research Council, the Gustav Adolfs Akademien, Stockholm university and the Centre for Baltic and Scandinavian Archaeology (ZBSA) in Schleswig, Germany.
