Conference: Homing In
In brief
Title - Homing In (14th Biennial Conference of the Association for Low Countries Studies in the UK and Ireland)
Organisers - The Association for Low Countries Studies (ALCS)
About the conference
Our world is constructed around the reality and the concept of home.
After a pandemic in which home gained new prominence, we would like to home in on understanding, remembering, (re)creating, searching for, (re)finding, (re)discovering, challenging, celebrating, home as an idea(l) and as a physical place.
Home is the story of who we are and such a deeply familiar place that it is almost impossible to see it with the eyes of an outsider.
We are steeped into home as an idea, a concept, an ideal expressed through objects and representations.
The conference is organised by the Association for Low Countries Studies.
