Conference. The Spaces of Luxury: Places, Spaces and Geographies from the Renaissance to the PresentOver the past two years, the Leverhulme-funded International Network ‘Luxury &#38; The Manipulation of Desire’ has explored a series of themes concerning luxury past and present ranging from production to regulation and the globalization of the luxury trade and industry. This conference brings together a group of scholars who have been actively engaged in historical, sociological, anthropological and business research on luxury and to provide an arena for dialogue between scholars and experts, journalists and business people in the luxury sector. This three-day conference is co-organised by the Luxury Network, the Warwick Global History and Culture Centre and the Warwick Business School and will take place in London at The Shard.For more information, including the conference programme and registration, see:http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/ghcc/research/luxury/activities/luxuryfinalconference/The registration deadline is 23 January.Best regardsAmy EvansLuxury Network FacilitatorHistory DepartmentUniversity of WarwickCoventryCV4 7ALwww.warwick.ac.uk/go/luxury
