“Diplomatic Interiors: Spaces, Practices, and Infrastructures in Historical Perspective” explores historical relationships between interior spaces and diplomacy. We invite researchers from a variety of disciplines to examine how settings such as embassy buildings, permanent chancelleries, and temporary conference venues have been shaped over time by social, technological, and material infrastructures in support of diplomatic representation, negotiation, and collaboration.
