Conference – ‘Studies in Belonging’
From 9-11 June 2021, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) will be hosting a conference on ‘Studies in Belonging’. Taking place in a hybrid form in Amsterdam, the conference will be organized around six topical threads: “Place-attachment and Mobility”, “Community and the Individual”, “Practices of Belonging”, “Borders and Boundaries”, “Finding Refuge” and “Identity, Inequality and Politics”. Leaving the definition of studies in belonging deliberately open, each thread invites both academic contributions from the social sciences and (digital) humanities as well as artistic works to bring together a variety of perspectives on questions of belonging. Proposals (max. 1 page) can be submitted until 1 October 2020. More information on the conference here.
